Autumn in New Zealand means that it is Feijoa (Pinneapple Guava in North America)season! Yay! Seriously they are my new favorite food. I'm even freezing some to eat in crumbles durning the winter:> For all of my faithful friends reading this blog in North America, you probably don't even know what a feijoa is. And since you probably don't know what a feijoa is, you probably have not ever had the joy of tasting a one either. To sum it up though, a Feijoa is a fruit that taste like Sweet Tart candy. How awesome is that - fruit that taste like candy!
Here in the Bay of Plenty we are truly blessed. The feijoa tree up the lane is producing huge fruit. Pictured is a normal sized feijoa and next to it, the ones off our tree. How awesome is that! I've been eating them for dessert almost every night for the past two weeks.

Hey Misty, we are in the States and missing the feijoa season! :( But we got a few of them before coming and they are great. Also full of vitamin C, so eat heaps before the winter season to prevent colds. The really big ones come from new growth on the newer tree and the smaller ones are from old branches on older trees, so if you want to keep getting big ones on your trees, trim them back in the right season and every 5 years or so plant a new tree.
