'Tis the season for giant feijoas in CHB.
There have been reports of huge feijoas growing around the district recently, but CHB SPCA shelter manager Renee Hickey's 395gm specimen, as large as her hand, might just be the biggest.
Renee said the feijoa came from one of three trees, around 20 years old, growing at the animal welfare shelter on Coughlan Rd in Waipukurau.

"They just grow these massive feijoas. But when I saw this one growing I said 'this is going to be a really massive one, so we need to keep it on the tree for as long as possible'," she said.
