@Adge, feijoas are a cool climate guava, with a tangy flavour that some people compare to pineapple, but having grown up eating feijoas off Mum and Dad's very productive plants, I can't think of the flavour as anything but feijoa... maybe with a tiny hint of sweet ginger. 😄
They vary in size depending on the variety and growing conditions. They can be as big as a kiwifruit (but more elongated) or as small as my little finger. My current source is our across-the-road neighbours who have a hedge of them, but this year being dry, they're finger sized. They've got a similar slightly seedy-grainy texture to figs, and their tang balances out the sweetness of figs very nicely.
I've got a seedling plant from Mum and Dad's place growing in my yard, but it's only started cropping last year, and this year, they're tiny. Maybe next year I'll find out what it can do.
