It is the late-season feijoa: medium to large oval fruit with firm skin and juicy, sharp-sweet flesh that keeps well after picking. Planted with Mammoth, its classic partner, it stretches the harvest well into late autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLate fruit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Triumph ripens at the end of the feijoa season, after the early and mid season varieties have finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharp-sweet and juicy.\u003c\/strong\u003e The flavour has more tang than most, which many feijoa growers prefer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps well.\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm skin means the fruit stores longer than softer varieties once it is collected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvergreen screen.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushy grey-green foliage with silver undersides makes a dense hedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdible flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e The sweet white petals around the red stamens can be eaten fresh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaired with Mammoth.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant the two within a few metres of each other.

Feijoas grow well in subtropical, warm temperate, cool temperate and Mediterranean gardens, and established plants handle moderate frost, wind and dry spells. They fruit best where winter brings some cold, and are less reliable in the humid tropics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil with added compost suits it.

The fruit drops when ripe, so gather it from the ground every day or two.
