Feijoa 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.

How to Grow and Care for Your Feijoa Tree

Plant your feijoa tree in a sunny, well-drained spot for the best results. Feijoas are relatively drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering helps during dry spells and fruit set. Mulch around the base of your tree, feed with a general fruit tree fertiliser in spring, and prune lightly after harvest to encourage bushy, productive growth.

Most feijoa varieties benefit from cross-pollination, so consider planting two or more types like Feijoa 'Gemini' alongside Feijoa 'Unique' for a bigger and more consistent crop. Self-fertile options are available for smaller spaces, but companion planting is still recommended to boost yields.
