Feijoa Sellowiana, also known as ‘Pineapple Guava’, is an evergreen tree or shrub that is native to South America. It is known for its delicious, fragrant fruit that has a juicy, sweet and tangy flavour, similar to a combination of pineapple and guava. The fruit is typically ripe in late Autumn to early Winter, making it a unique addition to your fruit collection.

Feijoa Sellowiana is an attractive plant with glossy, dark green leaves and beautiful, white and pink flowers that bloom in Spring. The tree can grow up to 2.5 metres tall, but can also be pruned to maintain a smaller size.

In addition to its delicious fruit, it is also known for its ornamental value. Its compact size and glossy leaves make it an ideal choice for small gardens and landscapes. It can be grown as a hedge, a specimen plant or even in containers. It also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

Feijoa Sellowiana is a low maintenance plant that does not require regular fertilisation or pruning to produce fruit. They prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. They are also drought tolerant and can thrive in coastal areas.
