Feijoa, Pineapple Guava, Guavasteen. The fruit emits a strong long-lasting perfume, even before it is fully ripe. The thick, white, granular, watery flesh and the translucent central pulp enclosing the seeds are sweet or subacid, suggesting a combination of pineapple and guava or pineapple and strawberry, often with overtones of winter green or spearmint. Feijoas prefer cool winters and moderate summers (80 to 90 F), and are generally adapted to areas where temperatures stay above 15 F. The flavor of the fruit is much better in cool than in warm regions. Barely cover seeds with well-drained soil mix, keep warm, slightly moist and in filtered light. Ordering seeds info
