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.

Growing Feijoa Trees in Christchurch

Success starts with choosing the right location: feijoa trees love full sun and well-drained soil. Planting in Christchurch’s temperate climate will give your feijoa trees every chance to produce generous crops. While feijoas tolerate light frosts, young plants benefit from shelter and consistent soil moisture, especially in their first year. Regular mulching retains moisture and keeps roots cool. Once established, feijoa trees are drought tolerant and can be pruned for shape or to boost fruiting. To maximise harvest, pair self-fertile varieties with others for cross-pollination, making use of Christchurch’s bee-friendly environment.
