how tall do feijoa trees grow
Feijoa trees, also known as pineapple guavas, are a favourite in many New Zealand gardens thanks to their delicious fruit, evergreen foliage, and ability to double as attractive hedging or shelter. If you’re curious about how tall feijoa trees grow, you’re not alone. Many keen gardeners want to plan their plantings based on the mature size and growth habit of these hardy subtropical fruit trees. The ultimate height of a feijoa depends on the variety, your local growing conditions, and how you choose to prune and maintain your plant.
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.
