Is this an actual edible feijoa fruit plant? had one when i lived in nz and the fruit is amazing - how well would it do in the uk (south east area)

Hi, I grew up in New Zealand, we had a huge tree in the front garden, this is the same variety as that. It's very much edible but will take some years to mature. When I got my plant two years ago it was much bigger than I was expecting, easily 50cm in length. I live in Bristol an mine is in the ground by a north facing wall. You should be fine in the south east. If your due a hard ground frost, just bubble wrap it for the cold spell. I'm looking forward to it fruiting. In the meantime, you can buy feijoa fruits from Covent Garden fruit market!

Can I grow the plant indoors please?

HI I have just got one and I am going to grow it in my back room.

Why have my plants not flowered ??? They are lovely matures bushes now but not a single flower or bud. Disappointing.

No, mine have not fruited either. They don’t need any special care, other than feeding regularly from spring onwards, which I forget to do! Mine is about 6 feet tall now, I’m hoping this year it’s big enough. I had a huge tree in my garden in New Zealand as a child and I’m hoping to replicate that. Not hugely successful so far on the fruiting though!

Hi, how long will the plant typically start to flower?

They are established plants that are of flowering size. I would expect them to flower within 12 months
