In case you never seen the fruits, their sizes are about the Kiwi. Interestingly, they stay green, and when ripe they drop off.


Fig 01 - Fruit of Pineapple guavas. 

The scientific name of this plant is Acca sellowiana. In our areas the common names of the fruit are:
- Feijoa
- Guavasteen.

Several advantages to grow Pineapple Guava are:
- a low maintenance pant
- a small tree with sweet fruit
- and beautiful flowering

The skin of the fruit is hard, and they are very rot resistant. When ripe the fruit is very fragrant. It is a very tropical flavor.

Tuesday, December 9, 2025
We saw "a huge nest" when we walked along the river close by our area recently. We wonder what lives there.

After other morning walking, we saw eagles. pair eagles, white head. Highly probably is "bald eagles."

In addition to the river, this bird has favorited habitats such as: 
- lake
- swamp
- and wetland.

Female is larger than male for Bald Eagles. Fledglings can be seen in the nest around late Winter to early Spring.

Eagles mate for life a keep the same nests year after year so numerous baby’s are born there each year.
