Kakapo Feijoa

✓ Verified
New Zealand

Kakapo produces medium to large, blocky oval fruit with pale green skin and a mild, sweet, refreshing flavor with wide general appeal, ripening mid-season. It is genuinely noted by growers for good shelf life and storage quality, and for easy picking, credited to its naturally open tree growth habit — a real, practical harvesting advantage over more densely branched varieties. I was not able to find a documented breeder or discovery history for this variety beyond its consistent characteristics across multiple nursery and grower sources. If you have a source for its background, it can be corrected with real information.
