Hi,

I've seen interesting info about Feijoa sellowania aka Feijoa.
Does someone grow it in USDA zone 8?
Thanks for any information

Hello Kacey,

I grow it in USDA zone 9, but some friends of mine grow it in zone 8b without problem. It is at least frost hardy to 10°F-15°F (-9°C to -12°C).
Personally, i love my Acca sellowania. I have a few varieties and seedlings. Summers in my zone are a bit cool for good crop, though.
Regards,
Laurent.

Laurent,
Thanks for the info.
I saw good looking seedlings in a nursery here. Think I'll get some I try them in my backyard :-)

Hello everybody, hello Laurent ; - ).


As for Feijoa they are quite hardy in zone 8 B.


Mine survived with no problem recent frosts down to minus 11 (centigrades), in southwestern France.


All the best.
