Duffy feijoas are tough, evergreen shrubs with silvery grey-green leaves and beautiful red-and-white spring blooms. They handle Perth’s hot summer days well when given regular watering and a good layer of mulch to cool the roots.
Duffy is a great cross-pollinator for other varieties like Mammoth or Apollo to maximize your harvest.
Interesting Notes:
The thick, fleshy flower petals are sweet and edible, perfect for tossing into fresh salads.
Fruit ripens early in the season and is ready to enjoy as soon as it drops naturally from the tree.
