Feijoa Pounamu
Pounamu produces good crops of medium-sized fruit with smooth green skin. The pulp is sweet and juicy with a tangy flavour. A small to medium tree that has an upright spreading growth habit. Covers well in flowers. Not overly vigorous, but a strong grower. Pounamu is an early season variety (April - May), ready when fruit changes colour and drops when touched.

Flowering occurs at the base of the new season's growth. It is, therefore, essential to prune early in the season (if pruning is required) to ensure growth happens for flowering to occur. Pruning is required to maintain the desired shape and stimulate the production of flowering wood. It is also required to open the tree up so birds can have easier access for pollinating. Remove weak and damaged branches back to the main branch and thin the tree, if required, by removing internal branches back to the main trunk.
