There are two ways to get feijoa into your garden collection - from seeds or as a ready-made seedling.
Seedlings will bloom only in 7-9 years, so planting feijoa seedlings is a more preferable option.
An evergreen resident of southern countries will begin to bear fruit earlier, its varietal characteristics will be known.
How to grow
Feijoa seeds should be lightly sprinkled with soil and filter paper should be placed on top.
Watering the soil must be done very carefully to prevent the seeds from being washed away.
The pots with the plant are placed in a warm place, the temperature there should be 18-25 degrees Celsius.
How to propagate feijoa correctly
Feijoa is propagated by seeds, cuttings, layering, root suckers and grafting.
When propagated by seeds, plants practically do not retain varietal characteristics.
How often should feijoas be watered
If rainfall is lacking in your area, consider watering your plants every 2 weeks in the spring and fall.
In summer, more frequent watering is required.
In winter, when growth slows and plants require less water, water more sparingly.
During the winter, you may not need to water the plant additionally at all.
Do I need to prune feijoas
You should definitely trim your trees.
Pruning helps them stay healthy so they live longer.
