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 Trees in Christchurch

Christchurch's temperate climate is ideal for feijoa trees. These hardy fruit trees tolerate light frosts and adapt well to the local soils, making them a strong performer in both backyard orchards and smaller home gardens. Many Christchurch gardeners choose feijoas for their ease of care, dense screening growth, and delicious, aromatic fruit that ripens in autumn.

Planting feijoa trees in Christchurch also provides important benefits for pollinators, as their early summer flowers attract bees and birds. With the right variety, you can look forward to abundant harvests with little fuss.

Tips for Growing Feijoa Trees in Christchurch

Feijoa trees are easy to establish. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil; avoid areas that get waterlogged in winter. While young trees benefit from regular watering as they settle in, mature feijoas tolerate dry periods once established. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and prune lightly after fruiting to maintain an open framework.

For best results and bigger yields, plant at least two different varieties for cross-pollination—even self-fertile types like Feijoa 'Unique' will crop more heavily with a pollination partner. Browse our wide selection to find the best feijoa trees Christchurch gardeners love.
