| We've got a large feijoa that's about 20 year old and has generally had pretty good crops. However, this year about half the fruit has problems; they look fine on the outside, but inside the fruit pulp has empty channels about 3mm wide going up and down, and the pulp is hard and pretty tasteless. |

| I've read that the variety Robert can have hollow fruits that look like the others on the outside if it gets insufficient pollen. |

| I see a number of those problem fruits every year, they don't fully fill out and remain hard inside with internal fissures and brownish, leathery pulp areas. A late bloom or an early freeze make this problem worse. It could well be a pollination issue. |
