  1. Can only assume you are not asking this from New Zealand.

    As others have said Feijoa. Delicious and a variety of guava

    Botanical name is Acca sellowiana (syn. Feijoa sellowiana).

    Common names as already mentioned and depending on where you live: feijoa or pineapple guava.

    I’m right now listening to an episode of Flightless Bird that’s all about New Zealand’s love affair with the feijoa so I’m appreciating the timing of this post

    It’s delicious! Post a picture of one cut in half and I can tell you how ripe it is.

    They all look pretty ready to eat! The ones with the brown spots are borderline going to rot, eat them first.

    Pineapple guava! My favorite kind. Shenandoah they’re ripe, still somewhat firm, but starting to get soft to the touch and very fragrant, cut them in half lengthwise and eat with a spoon. Delicious.

    And if you live in the right climate they make great hedges. I used to collect huge amounts of these from a hedge a friend of mine had in California.

    The weirdest plant the flowers taste better than the fruit!
