Feijoa Apollo: The Most Effortless Exotic Fruit in Sakarya

Feijoa (Acca sellowiana 'Apollo') from the highlands of South America — Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina — adapted surprisingly well to Sakarya's humid four-season climate. Hardy to -12°C to -15°C, tolerant of a wide range of soils, no serious diseases in five years. Apollo is a New Zealand-bred cultivar with large fruit and intense pineapple-guava aroma. Harvest tip: don't pick — wait for fruit to fall naturally. A second variety nearby significantly increases yield. Five years in, four years of reliable harvests with minimal intervention. Among the most underrated fruits for Sakarya gardens.
