The local (and presumably central, based on comment from the local councillor) govt response is so disappointing. They should be reacting with urgency to try to figure out impacts on the ecosystem and control measures.

Yeah they are South American, there is even a picture of a feijoa tree in the Colombian passport. But usually when I mention feijoa to South Americans they think I'm talking about 'feijoada', which is a Brazilian bean/meat stew πŸ˜‚

I'm a lurker who just figured out I have bad social anxiety which affects posting/commenting, so now I just need to come up with some strategies to overcome that πŸ˜… Also based overseas so feel like a lot of what I would share is not very relevant...

Living overseas for twelve years, feijoas are the thing I miss most, because they're basically impossible to find anywhere else. I found them once in a supermarket in France and never again πŸ₯²
