Feijoas in the UK?

Dear all,

Have been in the UK for 3 months now and no-one has heard of feijoas.
Anyone out there, UK based, who knows where I can get some?

Thanks so much

Cheers

They may know them as "guavas" (specifically, pineapple guava.) Good luck.

I adore guavas!! My dream is to buy another chunk around here (central
Florida) so I can grow a bunch of messy fruits! Seriously. Avocado,
guavas, lemons, tangerine, and maybe a red grapefruit or two! Oooh, maybe I
could do a mango, too!! Yeah, baby!

Thanks so much, that really helps. I've looked on the web and it seems
I could buy as a plant - next stop is the local farmers market for the
actual fruit. I'm sure I won't get so many strange looks now🙂

Cheers

If you are in London or any of the larger cities, any of the Caribbean
markets will have them.

Always thought they were a New Zealand Fruit

Seems they are South American

did you find any? I have 2 trees here in the UK but they are only 2 years old. but have been told we need a very long hot summer before any fruits appear.
