when to plant feijoa trees
Curious about when to plant feijoa trees? You’re not alone. Feijoas, also known as pineapple guavas, have become a staple in many New Zealand gardens thanks to their sweet, aromatic fruit and attractive evergreen foliage. Planting feijoa trees at the right time sets them up for vigorous growth, bountiful harvests, and resilience against weather extremes. In this guide, we’ll help you choose the best time to plant, explain why timing is so important, and share practical tips to ensure your new feijoas settle in beautifully.
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.
