Just found this thread but haven't got time to read through the whole thing to see if anyone can suggest the best feijoa tree for the Manawatu region. Hubby and daughter love feijoas I hate them so we've decided to plant a couple or 3 trees on our lifestyle block, anyone have any suggestions of best variety for this area and where's the best place to attain said variety specimen plant!Next month my son and his g/f and my grand daughter are coming to stay for her 1st birthday and as I have her placenta in my freezer awaiting to be planted under a tree I thought why not the feijoa tree.I know I know probably too gross for some of you lol

roxursox, if you ask in the Gardening & DIY forum someone there is sure to be able to help you with which species of feijoa is best for your area.

Freezing feijoas Hi,Ii just scoop the pulp into ice-cream containers and freeze.When I want to use just take out what I require.if you tap the containers when they are half frozen you can free flow them.I make cakes amd cheesecakes with them.Wynn Drabble from Havelock North has published a book of feijoa recipes.In last sunday's Star Times there was also a recipe for a Feijoa Cake.

4 kg feijoas 2kg suger,yeast neutrient 5g per 5 ltrs .Kitchen wizz feijoas skins pulp the lot and put in large 20l beer making tub add nuetrient and yeast and juice of 1 lemon 1 cup of strong cold tea (not tea bag).Keep at 20degrees untill air lock or wine stopped bubbling syphone off and keep in cool place for 1 week then bottle how many you want in beer bottles with on eteaspoon of suger cap and leave in a warmplace for at least 2 weeks.This makes sparkling wine.Remainder bottle in wine bottles and leave in a cool place.I do this every year.Sparkling wine comes out like fejoa champagne very tasty and smelling strongly of feijoas.Still wine ends up like a very dry chardionnay.If you prefer a sweeter wine as the must is fermenting and only a few bubbles are passing,add a campden tablet then bottle.Longer you leave it the better it gets,that's if you can lol

Feijoa Mousse. Copied from here awhile ago FEIJOA MOUSSE - 500g feijoas peeled, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 cup sugar, gelatine, 4 eggs, Almond oil, Soak the gelatine in cold water and then dissolve it in a small amount of hot water. Blend the feijoas with the lime juice. Strain, mix with the gelatine and cool for 10 minutes. Now blend again or whisk by hand. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, and then add the sugar and the yolks. Place this in a pan, which has been lightly coated with sweet almond oil, and fold the feijoas into the mixture. Cool until it sets.
