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 Hedge NZ?

Feijoas make excellent hedges in New Zealand thanks to their year-round foliage, resilience to coastal winds, and tolerance for varied soils. Their dense growth provides privacy and noise reduction, making them ideal for suburban sections. Plus, feijoas are low-maintenance, requiring only light annual trimming to maintain shape. Planting a feijoa hedge NZ doesn't just add value and structure to your landscape—it also offers a sustainable way to enjoy home-grown, vitamin-rich fruit every autumn.

Best Feijoa Varieties for Hedges

Certain feijoa varieties have proven their worth for hedging right across New Zealand. Consider these top performers:

Mixing varieties not only enhances pollination but also spreads your feijoa harvest over several months.

How to Plant and Care for Your Feijoa Hedge

For a robust feijoa hedge NZ, plant feijoas about one metre apart in full sun or partial shade. Feijoas prefer free-draining soil but are highly adaptable and cope well with wind and coastal conditions. Mulch generously and water deeply during establishment. An annual spring feed with slow-release fertiliser keeps growth lush and fruiting abundant. Regular trimming after fruiting encourages dense, bushy growth and keeps your hedge neat.

Once established, feijoa hedges are drought-tolerant and rarely troubled by pests. In cold regions, their evergreen leaves provide valuable winter shelter for birds and beneficial insects.
