Feijoa sellowiana fruit on a tree.

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 Choose a Feijoa Fruit Tree?

Feijoa fruit trees are celebrated for their low maintenance requirements and adaptability. These hardy trees tolerate a range of soil types, coastal conditions, and even light frosts, which makes them ideal for home gardens across New Zealand. The feijoa fruit tree produces oval-shaped fruit packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fibre, perfect for eating fresh, baking, jams, or smoothies.

Best Feijoa Varieties in New Zealand

If you’re searching for the finest feijoa fruit tree for your garden, New Zealand nurseries offer a range of excellent cultivars. For prolific fruiting and early harvests, the Feijoa 'Unique' is a favourite amongst local growers. Its medium-sized fruit and reliable performance make it suitable even for smaller spaces. For those seeking classic feijoa flavour and robust growth, the Feijoa Feijoa sellowiana delivers traditional taste and ornamental appeal. If you want a feijoa fruit tree with richer flavours or extended harvests, consider Feijoa 'Gemini', Feijoa 'Opal Star', or Feijoa 'Antoinette'. Each offers unique characteristics, from juicier fruit to increased disease tolerance and decorative flowers.

Planting and Caring for Feijoa Fruit Trees

Feijoa fruit trees prefer a sunny position and well-drained soil. Plant your tree in autumn or early spring to establish strong roots before the growing season. Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch generously to retain moisture. Feijoas require minimal pruning, but removing dead wood and shaping lightly encourages healthy growth and better yields. Once mature, these trees can produce bushels of fruit each season, with some varieties fruiting after just a couple of years.

Feijoa Fruit Tree Uses in the Garden

Besides their delicious fruit, feijoa fruit trees can serve as productive hedges, shelter belts or ornamental feature plants. Their dense, evergreen foliage provides privacy and wind protection, while the showy flowers attract pollinators to your garden. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, preserves, chutneys, and baking. By growing your own feijoa fruit tree, you’ll enjoy homegrown flavour and a touch of New Zealand heritage in your backyard.
