Abstract

The feijoa *(Feijoa sellowiana) is planted widely in California primarily as an ornamental shrub or small tree. Occasional small commercial plantings are to be found which range in size from to one or two acres. The popularity of the plant results from its adaptation to a wide range of environmental conditions as well as its aesthetic value in the landscape. Although comparatively unkiown to the general public the feijoa. fruit is eagerly sought by those acquainted with its delicate and delicious flavor. It was introduced into California from France about fifty years ago. The original home of the feijoa is Brazil and Uruguay.
