If you are looking for a set-it-and-forget-it, aesthetically beautiful tree which produces an abundance of tasty fruits which fall to the ground when ready to harvest, AND have a great shelf life... I know, sounds too good to be true. Well, look no further, this is the tree for you.

We grow many varieties, some of which are self-fertile. It is always advised to have two varieties growing since many varieties require cross pollination. Self-fertile varieties will benefit from cross-pollination with increased yields.

Overview

Feijoa, also known as pineapple guava, is a highly adaptable and ornamental fruit tree valued for its unique tropical flavor, attractive evergreen foliage, and excellent cold tolerance. Native to South America, feijoa produces aromatic green fruit with soft, juicy flesh and a flavor often described as a blend of pineapple, guava, and mint. Its reliability and ease of care make it a favorite for home gardeners.

Fruit Characteristics

Feijoa fruit is oval with green skin and fragrant, pale flesh. The flavor is sweet and refreshing with tropical notes, making it excellent for fresh eating, scooping, desserts, and preserves. Many named varieties offer improved fruit size, sweetness, and productivity, especially when grown on grafted trees.

Growth Habit & Landscape Value

Feijoa forms a compact to medium-sized evergreen shrub or small tree with silvery green leaves and striking red-and-white flowers. It can be grown as a single specimen, hedge, or espalier and responds well to pruning. Its attractive appearance makes it equally valuable as an ornamental and fruiting plant.

Growing Conditions

Feijoa is one of the easiest subtropical fruit trees to grow and performs best with:

• Full sun to partial shade

• Well-draining soil

• Moderate watering

Once established, feijoa is drought tolerant and cold hardy, making it suitable for a wide range of climates, including coastal and inland regions.

Ideal for Home Gardeners

Feijoa is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, cold-tolerant fruit tree with outstanding ornamental appeal. Grafted selections allow for improved fruit quality, consistency, and earlier production.
