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.

Bambina™ can easily be eaten skin and all. Fruits from April onwards. Fruit is ready when it changes colour and drops when touched.

Pollinating, it has not been proven that Bambina™ is self-fertile, but in our experience we have not seen a Bambina™ that hasn’t produced fruit in an urban setting, where pollinating occurs by larger birds, in their travels they visit different varieties of Feijoa and hence ensuring your Bambina™ gets pollinated.
