Growing Feijoa 'Apollo' Successfully in NZ

Feijoa 'Apollo' grows well in most New Zealand regions. It thrives in well-drained soil with good sunlight and benefits from occasional trimming. To be safe, the Plant Company recommends protecting the plants from heavy frosts in the first year of growth. We also recommend staking the plants for additional support. Whether grown in containers, mixed plantings, or as a hedge, this plant delivers reliable performance year after year, making it a valuable addition to the home garden.

Feijoa 'Apollo' Care Tips

Feijoa 'Apollo' thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Choose a warm, sheltered site to protect against harsh winds and heavy frost. Water regularly during dry spells, especially while young, and mulch annually to retain soil moisture and keep weeds at bay. Apply fruit tree fertiliser in spring to keep the trees growing actively. Prune after fruiting to shape the plant and allow light into the centre of the tree.

Plant Size and Spacing

Feijoa 'Apollo' grows about 3 m tall and 2–2.5 m wide, forming a vigorous, upright, and bushy tree. It is ideal for planting as a standalone specimen or as a fruiting hedge. For hedging, space plants 1-1.5 m apart. When growing as individual trees, allow at least 3 m between each to ensure healthy growth, good airflow, and easy access for harvesting.
