Marion Feijoa
✓ VerifiedAlso known as: Marion
New Zealand
Marion is a mid-season feijoa variety, documented on collector and New Zealand nursery references as producing medium to large fruit in autumn with smooth, dark green skin and soft, juicy, flavorful flesh with a mildly gritty texture typical of many feijoa varieties. It is commonly grown both for fruit production and as a hedging or screening plant, and New Zealand growers recommend planting it alongside a second variety for a longer fruiting season and better pollination.
