Pineapple guavas...what to do with them?
We have 2 big bushes that have followed us from our old home, where the climate was hot and dry, to northern California where we get a lot of summer heat, but also a ton of winter rain. I really thought that they were dead when they go here, but now they're thriving beyond measure! I now have fruits on them..tons...off of just 2 plants. Any ideas on what to do with them?
Thanks,
C

Isn't it wonderful to have too much? I know the pineapple guavas can survive and even thrive here in the Seattle area but I don't know anyone who actually has them. I really like mixing in "productive" plants into the landscape and have researched a lot of options, it's amazing what can be grown here.
Most everything I'd make would be against my low carb guidelines, you might try a search on "feijoa" recipes. You can do baked goods or make it into a paste or all sorts of things.
I think I'd probably process the pulp into ice cubes and add them into smoothies or maybe a holiday punch?? -- not that I can have many of them.

Raintree is from my side of the border and they ship exotics all over but I also love the nurseries near Portland. I have the rare hot rose suitable Seattle yard once we had to take down the ailing pie cherry tree and not a good yard for rhodies, got several of my old rootstock variety rosies down that way.
