Oh, and Tom Del Hotal also referred to hem as "feijoa" in e-mail. Speaking of which, do you happen to have a Lickver's Pride plant you could sell/ship me, Richard? Tom might have one by now based on the last e-mail I got from him but I don't know if I'll be getting down that way soon.

Aren't the only common names used in the US really just feijoa and pineapple guava? Nobody uses the new scientific genus name (Acca) as a common name, do they?

Yes, as far as I know, Mark, though I read of some others that small groups of folks might use (i.e., Brazilian guava).

In my experience, I rarely hear Acca at all, and then only as "Acca sellowiana" from well-healed French-Canadians or British who over-winter in coastal San Diego.

Guavasteen is another common name I came across but had not heard of before. I searched and came across this funny (?) eBay ad. The title description has Guavasteen and Pineapple Guava with the subtitle of Acca sellowaina. The listing photo also shows the name of Feijoa sellowaina and the item description uses the common name of feijoa. The photos are interesting as they do show feijoa fruits but also a tropical guava! Further, they ship the plants bare root which can be challenging. LIVE GUAVASTEEN PLANT Seedling PINEAPPLE GUAVA Fruit Tree Acca sellowiana | eBay
