It’s November and the figs are still ripening in my garden. Amazing! They seem to last longer every year.

FEIJOA.............................Oil on board..... 5” x 7” (12.5 cm x 17.5 cm)


Description from the Wellness Encyclopedia of food and Nutrition (UC Berkeley):
“ egg-sized green fruits from South America… sligthly gritty texture like a bosc pear, with a tart flavor and a strong flagrance” (that reminds me of guava).
They are now ready to be picked, halved and eaten with a spoon. If you have room in your garden, they grow as bushes with green leaves all year around and beautiful flowers in Spring.

*C’est un fruit originaire d’Amerique du Sud avec un goût proche de la poire et un parfum de goyave.
