Last year in #dreamofkiwanosato artist & gardener Karen Guthrie helped save this fejoa seedling from below the mother plant, which was to be bulldozed to make way for a new road. A villager has nurtured it and look how it’s grown! We hope to site it in the redesigned paddies amongst a nectar rich planting we’ll base on our experiments there with rubus species and buddleia. Fejoa - or pineapple guava - grows well in this part of Japan and appears
to be deer resistant, but this tree was the only specimen in the village. Until now 👏🏻.
