Antoinette Feijoa
✓ VerifiedNew Zealand
Antoinette is documented as a late-season feijoa variety, ripening from April into May or June — genuinely useful for extending the harvest season alongside earlier varieties like Anatoki and Apollo, also documented in this database. The fruit is large with a sweet, mildly aromatic flavor. I was not able to find a documented breeder or discovery history for this variety beyond its real, consistently documented ripening timing and fruit characteristics. If you have a source for its background, it can be corrected with real information.
