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 Grow Feijoa Plants in New Zealand?

Feijoa plants are perfectly suited to New Zealand’s temperate climate. They tolerate wind, salt spray, and even light frosts, making them ideal for most regions across the country. Feijoas are also self-fertilising in most varieties, although they yield even bigger crops when planted near another variety. That means whether you have a small urban backyard or a larger rural property, there’s a feijoa plant that can thrive for you.

Feijoa Varieties For Every NZ Garden

With so many feijoa varieties available, it’s easy to find the right fit for your taste and space. The classic Feijoa 'Unique' is prized for its reliability, early fruiting, and sweet, aromatic flavour. If you’re after a true heirloom choice, the Feijoa Feijoa sellowiana offers exceptional resilience and ornamental value.

For those wanting to extend their feijoa harvest, Feijoa 'Gemini' is a fantastic mid-season variety with abundant, medium-sized fruit. Seeking something extra special? Feijoa 'Opal Star' delivers impressive yields of large, juicy fruit. Another favourite for home gardeners is Feijoa 'Antoinette', renowned for its late harvest and outstanding flavour.

How to Plant and Care for Feijoa in NZ

Feijoa plants thrive in well-drained soil and a sunny spot. Dig in plenty of compost and keep young plants moist while they establish. Once settled, feijoas require minimal upkeep beyond mulching and feeding in spring. They are generally pest and disease resistant but benefit from regular pruning for shape and airflow.

Feijoa in the Edible Landscape

Beyond their sweet, aromatic fruit, feijoa plants bring ornamental value to your NZ garden year-round. Their silver-backed leaves and vibrant brush-like flowers make striking hedges, windbreaks, or feature plants. Feijoa fruit can be enjoyed fresh, scooped from the skin, or transformed into jams, chutneys, baking, and preserves.
