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.

Why Feijoa Fruit is So Popular in NZ

Feijoa fruit NZ is celebrated not just for its flavour, but also for its adaptability in the garden. These evergreen fruit trees cope well with New Zealand’s weather, from the warm north to the cooler southern regions. Their lush foliage provides shelter and privacy, and the striking edible flowers attract pollinators.

Choosing the Best Feijoa Variety

With so many varieties available, it’s easy to find a feijoa that suits your tastes and garden space. Some of the country’s favourite cultivars include:

Planting more than one variety will help ensure excellent cross-pollination, which means bigger yields and even tastier fruit.

Growing Your Own Feijoas in New Zealand

Feijoa trees are well-suited to a variety of New Zealand soils and can be grown in the ground or large containers. They do best in full sun with free-draining soil, and require little more than an annual prune and regular mulching. Their resilience to pests and disease makes them a great choice for organic or low-maintenance gardens. With the right care, your feijoa fruit NZ will flourish for decades, providing you with fragrant blossoms in spring and a generous harvest come autumn.

Using Feijoa Fruit in Your Kitchen
