Feijoas are 'theoretically the perfect fruit', so why don't we love them more? (www.abc.net.au)

I have no idea what a Feijoa is. Or even how to pronounce it. But if anyone knows a place in Michigan that sells them, let me know.

Or even how to pronounce it.

Far-Joe-ah (run the syllables together reasonably quickly)

Sounds like a great addition to my garden. Are there grafted Feijoas sold in Australia anywhere?

We have two we got from a nursery here in Tasmania (Launceston) that sells in the Saturday Market in Launnie.

Not sure where you are but Daley's Nursery ship to most of Australia (they're in Kyogle, Northern NSW) and have all sorts of fruit trees. Check their website?

Edit: had to fix a bunch of typos in that post!

Dailey’s Nursery

Great tip, thanks! They have 4 different cultivars of grafted feijoa in stock: https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/feijoa.htm
