A Hawke's Bay couple is claiming they've grown the biggest feijoas in the country.
Roger Corbett and his partner Julie have two feijoa trees in Havelock North, which have begun to produce record-breaking fruit.
Mr Corbett has tended the trees for the past two years.
"After I cut the trees
back and fed them two to three bags of sheep poo, the fruit just kept getting bigger and bigger," Mr Corbett said.
The Bay Of Plenty New Zealand Tree Croppers previously claimed the biggest feijoa, at 233 grams.
