Gemini
A tier
Gemini is a NZ feijoa often paired in plantings—good flavour, productive, and timed to complement other named types for staggered ripening. Flesh is aromatic and spoonable at peak; fruit size is competitive. Dual-plant recommendations frequently mention Gemini with siblings like Apollo. Use for fresh eating and processing surplus into jam. Collect fallen fruit promptly to avoid fermentation on soil. Cross-pollination benefits apply. Flavour drops if refrigerated too long after full ripe.
