That has been my experience, also. I've seen them in a few yards in Vegas, Central MS, even Reno, and of course, mine in Seattle that's been in a pot for over 18 years.
Though I have several of them, I am not too enthused about having to wait to pick the fruits after they fall on the ground. Picking them before will be quite a disappointment. Also, after having grown up around regular guavas, big and small, sweet and sour, round or pear-shaped, it really takes a while for me to develop a taste for Feijoa (Acca).
