From what I've seen, Feijoa seems to flower on a seasonal basis (May is often cited as a flowering time start). Does anyone know how flowering behavior would be in a greenhouse environment? Does feijoa need a cold period, or a low light period, or something else? Or does it just flower whenever it feels like it if it never gets cold? Also, how long are the fruit good off the tree?
It is good on the ground for less than a week.
I have feichoas in greenhouse and they are very easy plants. Flowering period here is end of february and march, fruits rippen from september to october. From may to november I put them outside because they appreciate a lot of sun.
I think that it is more due to the longer day at spring than temperature. It is cold greenhouse, temperatures go often to -1°C at night. Feichoas are not as tropical as jaboticabas.
