Feijoa Sherbet is outstanding - it produces fruit that's a real handful. Available only at ican garden retailers.
Sherbet is a strong, vigorous feijoa, with big dark green leaves which have pale green new growth that gets covered in a golden fuzz at the tips. This feijoa will perform exceptionally well, handling frosts, drought and strong winds like a trooper.
This feijoa will grow to 3m by 2m in size.
Sherbet will produce fruit in excess of 12cm long and each is a hefty handful! The fruit flesh is a nice clean white with clear gel and white seeds and has a sharp sherbety flavour rather than very sweet like others.
Sherbet is the earliest fruiting feijoa variety we know of, with fruit ready to harvest from early March.
