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 NZ Feijoa Trees?

Feijoa trees are prized not just for their unique, tangy fruit, but also for their lush foliage, attractive flowers, and easy maintenance. They make superb additions to home orchards, edible hedges, or even as standalone feature trees. NZ feijoa varieties are especially popular due to their disease resistance, cold tolerance, and prolific cropping—meaning you can count on a generous harvest year after year. Being partially self-fertile, many feijoa cultivars will fruit on their own, but planting a mix of varieties can significantly boost yield and ensure cross-pollination.

Best NZ Feijoa Varieties

Choosing the right feijoa tree can make all the difference in your garden. Here are some sought-after NZ feijoa varieties to consider:

Planting and Caring for Feijoa in New Zealand

Growing NZ feijoa is straightforward with the right preparation. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Feijoas tolerate wind and light frosts, making them well-suited to most NZ climates. Regular watering during dry spells, annual mulching, and light pruning after fruiting will keep your tree healthy and productive. Feijoas benefit from good feeding in spring to encourage robust growth and abundant fruit.

Uses and Storage

The NZ feijoa isn’t just delicious eaten fresh off the tree. It can be stewed, baked in cakes, made into tangy jams, or even added to smoothies. The flowers are also edible and attract beneficial pollinators to your garden. Feijoas will store for up to a week at room temperature or can be refrigerated for longer—making them perfect for sharing with friends and neighbours.
