Places of growth
The plant was first named and studied in Brazil, but it cannot be called the country of origin of feijoa; the birthplace of the tree is subtropical forests South America(Colombia, Uruguay, Argentina). Over the last century the tree migrated to different countries and now you can find it:
- In Crimea.
- Abkhazia.
- Transcaucasia.
- Europe (Greece, Spain, Portugal).
- North America (Pacific coast).
- South of Russia.
- Dagestan.
- Central Asia.
- Australia.
- New Zealand.
The tree lives in subtropical climates, because it loves moisture, it root system located in surface layers soil, not very branched, so it tolerates South American rains well.
Important! An arid climate is detrimental to the plant; it will not take root in the tropics.
Description of varieties
The fruit-bearing wild tree attracted the interest of breeders, and seedlings were exported for cultivation on plantations around the world. The most common varieties:
Local varieties were bred by gardeners in individual areas.
- French henre varieties from Argentine seeds, Rosledgia, are pear-shaped.
- Choiceana from the USA tastes like banana.
- Large mammoth fruits have wrinkled skin.
- The round David variety has a reddish skin.
- Magnifica has extraordinary dimensions.
- The pulp of the Robert variety is granular.
Plant care
The main difficulty of cultivation is to accustom the plant to the Russian climate, because this is prevented high humidity atmosphere, which can slow down the fruiting process. Growing conditions:
- greenhouse;
- greenhouse;
- windowsill;
- open ground.
Landing
You can plant a tree by sowing seeds or digging the roots into the ground. As it grows, a small neat tree appears.
Attention! Feijoa seeds do not have much germination potential.
The soil at home can consist of soil, peat and river sand.
Features of care:
- the place for growth should be at a temperature of 20-25 degrees;
- daily watering;
- changing tubs for seedlings as they grow.
At first, transplantation is carried out once a year, mature tree replanted once every 3 years.
Sprouts appear after 1-2 months; if the seeds do not germinate, then the planting was unsuccessful, to increase the likelihood of germination, it is a good idea to create a greenhouse effect. Imitation will also help germination sun rays using special lamps.
Seedlings can only be germinated at home or in a greenhouse, since the sowing time of February-March is not suitable for sowing in open ground in our climate. To transfer it to the site, you need to dig up a root in the fall, which should be 8-10 cm in length and plant it in the soil in a greenhouse. When cold weather sets in, the tree can be transplanted into a tub and moved indoors.

Planting a plant
The plant requires soil with the following properties:
- nutritional value;
- looseness;
- weak acid reaction;
- richness in humus.
Watering feijoa
Feijoa in summer requires abundant watering. Overdrying of the soil can lead to the falling of leaves and ovaries and even the death of the plant. IN winter period When overwintering a plant in a cool room, it should be watered carefully.
Roots do not absorb water so quickly, so its excess increases the risk of root rot and plant death.
Reproduction
Reproduction Plants are possible in two ways: seeds, rooted branches. At the same time, when propagating fruits by seeds, you should not wait for the next 5 years, when using cuttings - 4 years.
There is a third the method is to buy an expensive adult plant in a store, but there is a risk that it will not take root. During long flowering From May to June the plant is very beautiful. Flowers in pink or red shades.
With vegetative reproduction best moment process - spring and early summer. Rules for propagation by cuttings:
- half-ripe branches with 3 internodes are ideal;
- cuttings are treated with root formation accelerators (for this you can use coconut soil, washed sand, vermiculite, perlite or simple flower soil with the addition of vermiculite or perlite in a 1:1 ratio;
- Place the cuttings in greenhouses, which can be used as plastic bottles;
- suitable temperature for the appearance of roots is +25 degrees;
- It may take several months for roots to appear and not all cuttings will take root;
- if the plant grew from cuttings of fruiting feijoa, flowering can be expected in 2 or 3 years.
For reproduction Feijoa seeds perform the following actions:
- The best sowing period is February, the seeds are freshly harvested;
- the seeds must be separated from the pulp and dried for 5 days;
- seeds should be sown shallowly in plastic cups, lightly sprinkled with soil and placed in greenhouses;
- Next, you need to water from a shallow watering can onto filtered paper located on the surface of the ground;
the ideal temperature for propagating a plant by seeds is +23...+25 degrees; - The first shoots are expected in 3-4 weeks.
When transplanting feijoa Care should be taken as the branches are very brittle and fragile.
Plant nutrition
During the summer feijoa requires fertilizing, for which they are perfect complex fertilizers. Superphosphate is used for feeding, horse manure in a ratio of 1:10, ash extract.
To receive potassium fertilizer in 1 liter of water, infuse 1 tbsp. a spoonful of tree ash (mostly deciduous) for 1 week. Before fertilizing, the plant should be watered.
Choosing a landing site
Feijoa loves bright rooms and can withstand direct sunlight. With a reduced light supply, the plant will not bloom or bear fruit.
Perfect in summer option for the plant is fresh air, in winter - a bright room with an air temperature of +10...+12 degrees.
Feijoa will tolerate the winter period normally even at room temperature, but will require an air humidity of 80-85% and increased lighting. Regular spraying will help the plant.
Ideal place feijoa wintering - glass balcony apartments.
Diseases, pests and treatment of feijoa
Pests, affecting the plant: , . Red damages young shoots. To help the plant, it is recommended to use a solution of keltan in the proportion of 1 liter of water: 2 grams of a substance for spraying, which is best done in the evening.

Conditions for growing feijoa
Sometimes feijoa pollen is carried by birds attracted by flowers, but more often it is pollinated by bees. Between 60 and 90% of pollinated plants produce fruit. Hand pollination effective in almost 100% of cases. Cross pollination requires planting two or more bushes together. Low yields usually indicate insufficient pollination.
Feijoa grows well in subtropical climates with low humidity. Optimal annual quantity precipitation - 762-1,016 mm. The plant produces crops in regions where there are relatively cold winters and can tolerate quite low temperature- from -11.11 C to - 9.44 C. The most aromatic fruits ripen in relatively cool regions.
Feijoa can take root in different soils; in England it even grows in soil rich in lime, but big harvest it can only bear fruit in rich organic soil. There are opinions that it is good for feijoa acidic soil, however, it is most productive in soil with an acidity level of pH 6.2. Feijoa is resistant to drought, but during the ripening period it needs abundant watering.
Breeding
Feijoas are usually grown from seeds. The seeds are filled with water and left for four days - they germinate three weeks after planting. When young plants have several leaves, they are transplanted into separate pots, and a little later they are planted in open ground. The first harvest usually occurs after 3-5 years. At vegetative propagation The first fruits may ripen in the second year.
It is believed that feijoa is difficult to propagate vegetatively, but in England and Auckland this method is preferred. A young cutting from the top of a branch usually takes root within 1-2 months. If it is placed in wet sand and placed on sunny place, this can happen in as little as 10 days. Sometimes hormonal supplements are used to speed up the process.
Productivity
Feijoa blooms: in Uruguay - in November, in northern Florida - in late April, in the San Francisco area - in early June, in England - in July. In southern California, fruits ripen 4.5 - 6 months after flowering, in San Francisco - 5.5 -7 months. In New Zealand, feijoa blooms in February and ripens in May. The ripe fruits fall to the ground, are collected and kept in a cool place until they become a little softer. To prevent the fruits from being damaged when falling, a layer of straw is laid under the plants. If you pick feijoas from a tree or eat them not quite ripe, you will not experience the fullness of their taste and aroma.
Some mature plants in France produce up to two thousand fruits per year. There is one plant in India 
bears no more than a hundred fruits a year - probably low yields are due to insufficient pollination and birds that come to peck flowers.
On experimental plantations in New Zealand, the following results were obtained: in the 3rd year of life, one plant produced 6 kg of fruit, or 4000 kg/ha; 4 year - 12 kg per plant and 8000 kg/ha; 5 year - 18 and 12,000 kg, respectively. In 1978, 333 tonnes of feijoa were grown in New Zealand, of which 149 tonnes were sold fresh and 184 tonnes processed.
When too high temperature the fruit turns brown and rots after a few days, although this is completely unnoticeable from the outside. In a cool room, fruits can be stored for a month or more. In France, feijoa is harvested in November and December, and the fruit stores well until spring. Today, feijoas are shipped from New Zealand to Europe by air. They can be stored for a month at zero degrees, but on a store shelf they can only last a week.
Variety Magnifica - up to two meters high in open ground, evergreen and at the same time decorative and fruit plant. The Magnifica variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollinator; it is not picky about soils or growing conditions. The fruits are very large and large, aromatic, with juicy sweet pulp. The taste is reminiscent of a mixture of pineapple, kiwi and strawberries. They are stored for a very long time, and not only do not lose their taste, but, on the contrary, enhance them. The fruits of this variety tolerate transportation well over long distances.

Location. Feijoa is a light-loving crop, so it is best to place it on a south or south-east window. In the autumn-winter period, the plant sheds quite a lot of leaves. To eliminate this phenomenon, additional illumination is necessary.
Temperature. Adult plants can withstand temperatures down to -12 °C and are resistant to drought. In winter, the plant is best kept in a cool, bright room with a temperature of 8-12 °C. In summer it is good to take it out into the garden or onto the balcony.
Soil. The plant is undemanding to soil conditions; an ordinary flower substrate is suitable.
In the first 2–3 years, due to the active growth of the root system, replanting should be carried out annually. When replanting, be sure to preserve the soil ball and not bury the plant. Subsequently, the transplant should be done once every 3 years.
Watering. Feijoa – moisture-loving plant. Overdrying of the earthen coma leads to loss of leaves, drying out of branches and part of the root system. After watering, the water accumulated in the pan is not removed - after a while it will be absorbed into the earthen lump. IN winter time when the air humidity in the house is low, when caring for feijoa it is useful to spray the plant a little warm water. In summer, abundant watering is recommended, in winter – moderate.
Feeding. Feijoa is very demanding when it comes to feeding during flowering and fruit set. During the year, feijoas are fed every 15 days, alternating nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Horse manure (1:10), superphosphate and ash extract are used. Superphosphate is poorly soluble in water, so first boil 1 teaspoon of fertilizer in 1 liter of water. The cooled solution is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. To obtain potash fertilizer, 1 tablespoon of hardwood ash is infused for 1 week in 1 liter of water. Before feeding, water the plant with plain water.
Transfer. In the first 2–3 years, feijoas need to be replanted annually in fresh nutrient substrate. Adult plants are transferred into a large bowl, filling only the space between the walls of the pot and the root ball with fresh substrate. Roots coming out of the drainage hole should be trimmed.
