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 Feijoa Trees for Wellington Gardens?

Feijoa trees are remarkably tolerant of Wellington’s changeable weather. They withstand wind, cope well with salt spray, and aren’t fazed by light frosts—a perfect fit for Wellington's varied microclimates. With their attractive waxy foliage and striking spring blooms, feijoas make superb hedging, screening, or stand-alone specimen trees. The fruit is a Kiwi favourite for good reason: sweet, tangy, and aromatic, ideal for eating fresh or making jams and chutneys.

Best Feijoa Varieties for Wellington

Our range of feijoa trees is tailored to Wellington’s conditions. If you want reliable fruiting without needing a pollinator, consider Feijoa 'Unique'—a self-fertile variety that produces heavy crops even if planted solo. For gardeners seeking exceptional flavour and larger fruit, Feijoa 'Gemini' is a standout, offering good yields and robust disease resistance. Traditionalists might favour Feijoa Feijoa sellowiana, which boasts classic feijoa taste, strong growth, and ornamental appeal. For abundant fruit and vigorous growth, Feijoa 'Opal Star' and Feijoa 'Antoinette' are excellent options—both ideal for Wellington’s gardens.

Planting and Caring for Feijoa Trees in Wellington

Feijoa trees grow best in full sun, in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. If Wellington’s wind is an issue, place your feijoa in a sheltered spot, or use feijoas as a windbreak along boundaries. Regular watering in the first couple of years helps establish strong roots, and an autumn mulch will conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning after fruiting keeps the tree tidy and encourages better airflow—a simple annual task that rewards with bigger, tastier crops.

Harvesting Feijoa Fruit in Wellington

Feijoa trees typically reach maturity within three to five years, producing fruit in autumn (March–May). Wellington gardeners can expect their trees to drop ripe fruit, which is best harvested straight from the ground for peak flavour. Feijoa fruit is perfect for eating fresh, baking, or preserving—making your Wellington garden a source of tasty, homegrown goodness all season long.
