[Ccpg] Sat Oct 20 "New Feijoas from New Zealand!" with Glen Woodmansee Goleta Library

[Wesley Roe and Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

*"New Feijoas from New Zealand!"*

*Presentation on Pineapple Guavas by **Glen Woodmansee*

*Saturday, Oct. 20 at **Goleta** Library*

On Saturday, October 20, 10 am - noon, the Santa Barbara/Ventura chapter 
of the California Rare Fruit Growers will present a talk on feijoas by 
expert Glen Woodmansee of Santa Monica at the Goleta Public Library, 500 
North Fairview Avenue in Goleta.

Feijoas (pineapple guava) are easy to grow in Santa Barbara but most of 
us don't have the most delicious cultivars. Glen will take us on a 
whirlwind tour of New Zealand, where exciting new feijoas are being 
developed. He'll introduce us to Down Under feijoa growers and lovers. 
And he will tell us how the new feijoa cultivars are performing in Santa 
Monica now that many of them are beginning to fruit for the first time 
in the U.S.!

Glen will also show videos that give the history of the fruit and how it 
grows. And we'll hear how New Zealanders make feijoa wine - and we'll 
learn what a Feijoa Fruju is!

Glen's talk was very popular at the Los Angeles and Orange County 
chapters of CRFG. Now it's our turn - don't miss it!
