Feijoa The Pineapple Guava A subtropical Evergreen Tree

[gorodph]

Is it possible to grow Feijoa in Slovakia (EU) at 200 meters above see level? But we have a winters with few °C below zero and a bit of snow. Will it survive outside? Or is it not possible to grow it here at all? Thanks.

@cuervoz28 Thank you for your honesty, but I would much prefer if you show that with your customers :)

Actually, the pronunciation really depends on whether you are going with Spanish or Portuguese. As a general rule, the "j" in Spanish is more of a silent h/y sound, whereas in Portuguese the "j" is aspirated. Both pronunciations are correct, but I tend to think this is a native Brazilian plant, and I go with "feejoea".

Wow! Very nice garden! I like the permaculture-esque wilderness of it.

Hey, I'm from NZ where every back yard has a feijoa tree. Funny thing is we pronounce it "fee joe a" not "fee ho a". Any idea what the correct pronunciation is?

@jeremymould Not sure about the first syllable, but it should be "ho" not "joe"
