#feijoa — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://fairdinkum.one/@John/116564173884955791

I just ate one of these store bought #feijoa. (Over $2 each!)

I can understand the #pineapple & #sherbet comparisons. (Ate mine skin-on)

Strawberry though - just a bit. I guess it depends on just how ripe your Feijoa is when you eat it?

Watched a great YouTube vid on how to start the seeds in a ziplock bag with a wet paper towel.

I’ll be growing from seed & also have some small plants incoming from #DaleysFruit.

Got a pineapple guava, which is neither a pineapple nor a guava, although it belongs to the myrtle family like the common guava. Some folks in Hawaii lovingly refer to this plant as "a garbage tree", 😉.

It has nice fruit and edible flowers, and we will use it as the inner edge of a tropical fruit corner in the warmest part of the yard. Frost hardy to 15 F, It will shield a couple of mango trees.

Enjoy! They look gorgeous.

#TIL about feijoa fruit. I'm 35 and had no idea this was a thing. It's in the #Myrtle family. Grows in the southern hemisphere and smells like perfume. Similar texture to a guava. Who knew?

That's super neat :)

#Yuca — commonly called #cassava, #manioc, macaxeira, mandioca, aipim, and agbeli.
This is a woody shrub native to South America of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae.
The plant mostly grows in tropical and subtropical regions.
The starchy tuberous root is edible, and a major source of carbohydrates.
