MY BROTHER'S GARDEN is so productive, apart from the figs we have been harvesting every week for the last 4-5 weeks we are now harvesting the ferjoa. The common name for ferjoa is pineapple guava or guavasteen. It is a flowering plant in the myrtle family.
The ferjoa tastes a bit like the guava we are used to eating in Asia. But it is sweet as. I think my brother's garden is so productive because the soil in Northcote is fertile. In contrast we find our soil not fertile at all and the base is mostly clay.
The persimmons in the garden are growing rapidly in size and ripeness. I think by April we can be eating the beautifully sweet persimmons too.
