Feijoa sellowiana
Feijoa sellowiana, commonly known as Brazilian Guava or Pineapple Guava, is one of the original Feijoa varieties from which many new varieties have been bred. This late-season producer bears fruit in autumn, which is medium-sized and very tasty. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide but is often trimmed to smaller sizes. Feijoa sellowiana is commonly grown for fruit production, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, or added to a mixed planting. We recommend planting at least two varieties to provide for a more extended fruiting period and ensure better pollination.
