the best fruit evah!

Fejoas are my new favorite fruit. Ken planted these bushes in March and this fall we had our first small harvest of the delicious fruit. The ones shown here are the tiny end-of-season fruits (about mid-December). They are so very delicious! They taste like a fresh, fruity, juicy sweet-tart. Yum! I like to slice them in half and scoop out the flesh with a baby spoon. A big shout out to Ken for doing the research, the planning, the hard work (big, ugly bushes had to be torn out before these could be planted) and having the vision of adding these to our yard. Thank you, Ken!

I've never heard of those - they look adorable and sound delicious!

I've never heard of those and they look a little weird, but how very cool that you love them and can grow them in your own yard. Do the boys like them as well?

They sound delicious! Does it get very hot there in the summer? I'm in Texas and would love to have one of these but am not sure whether or not they'd survive the 100+ summers.

Joy--I'm not sure if I've shared any with the boys yet! Next year.

Michelle--yeah, it gets pretty hot here. I'd say, go for it.
