Feijoa ‘Sherbert’ pb 8

Sherbet is a strong; vigorous feijoa; with big dark green leaves which have pale green new growth that gets covered in a golden fuzz at the tips.

Sherbet will perform exceptionally well; handling frosts; drought and strong winds like a trooper!

Once established; Sherbet fruit grow in excess of 12cm long and are a hefty handful! The fruit flesh is a nice clean white with clear gel and white seeds and has a sharp; sherbet flavour rather than the sometimes sickly sweetness of others.

Sherbet is the earliest fruiting feijoa variety we know of; with fruit ready to harvest from early March.

It is best planted with early flowering varieties such as Takaka or Unique; which will cross-pollinate with Sherbet to produce fruit.

This feijoa will grow to 3m by 2m in size.
