Hi all,I have several Feijoa bushes I've grown from seed and which are finally fruiting this year. Do I need to bag the fruit to avoid worms? Regards,Scott
Thank you both. I was hoping I didn't have to do more bagging :-) Mine took 4 years from seed to flower.

Feijoa needs some chill to fruit and more than one tree to successfully set fruit. Some years ago I had only one tree that produced a lot of flowers each year, but never fruited. Good thing, the succulent petals are eatable - sweet and flavorful.
