Yum, stewed feijoas are soooo good!  The scarcity and tiny size of feijoas grown in the South Island is the one thing that  makes me wish I was back living in the North Island at this time of year . They cost $9.99/kg  in the supermarket here this week ...but we get ours freighted down overnight from Karamea for $5/kg (30 or so people at work put in a joint weekly order for them).  You north islanders should go into business shipping your excess down this-a-way .

I've still got some. I went out after I filled the bucket this morning to gather more so it's pretty much still full.

Mmmm feijoas!

My little wee tree has just finished giving me her whole 1 bucket for this year. We transplanted her last year so I was very proud of her effort!

My old house had a monster tree, we used to husk a whole heap and then just freeze them in bags so we could use them in fruit pies, crumbles, muffins etc during the off season. We also used to just pop them outside our gate in a box for kids to grab on their way to the school across the road.

If you end up with mountains of them Sarah and no-one else wants anymore, I would happily drive across the Tron to get some from you ]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 16:49:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26310&PID=677697&title=feijoa-surplus#677697 <![CDATA[Feijoa surplus. : Great feijoas - thanks Sarah! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26310&PID=677679&title=feijoa-surplus#677679 Author: Mrs_B

Hey, now now glow. I was in first.

How long would they last in the post?? My mum used to post lemon's to her parents in wellington from here. lol

Yeah there in the bucket on the lawn, we don't have a fence and our section is raised slighly so you'd see them.

I still have some inside that wouldn't fit in the bucket and they're today's ones a bit hard still.

I made Jam over the weekend, a cake this morning & have used over 10kg for my wine. (let me know if anyone want the recipe- its so good & so dangerous )

They're out on the lawn, it's funny watching people drive past and have a good gork but keep driving.

They are big too I took a photo the othe day, my first leomn off our tree a feijoa and an orange and the lemon was the smallest.

My neighbours trees are the same - they have a hedge of about 10 trees (and don't eat feijoas). On Friday I collected a whole banana box full to take to work with a whole heap of plastic bags - so everyone who wanted could take a big bag home. Could you send some to work with DH? Or yeah put them out the front of your house with a sign saying 'Free feijoas, help yourself'... I'm sure you have neighbours who would love them!]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 11:50:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26310&PID=677372&title=feijoa-surplus#677372 <![CDATA[Feijoa surplus. : Yeah we do get them down here,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26310&PID=677368&title=feijoa-surplus#677368 Author: BeckyB
