Acca

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think modern taxonomists place Feijoa in Acca genus, the 3 species are similar. so slight modifies here and there needs to be done. -102.38.8.70 (talk) 12:13, 16 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Pronuncation

Latest comment: 9 months ago4 comments4 people in discussion

The name of the fruit is feijoa (This fact seems implicit but missing). How is it pronounced (in English)? 136.36.176.51 (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Mentioned in the lede - "fay-ow-uh" in English, with variations in Spanish and Portuguese (shown in the lede). Zefr (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

However, the pronunciation "fee-JO-uh" is common in English (probably more common than "fay-ow-uh"). PatricKiwi (talk) 18:49, 9 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

In New Zealand I've only ever heard "fee-JO-uh" before. ―Panamitsu (talk) 02:21, 10 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
