Feijoa 'Unique'

Feijoa 'Unique' Details

Feijoa ‘Unique’, commonly known as Pineapple Guava, is an early-season variety of Feijoa that is a prolific bearer of fruit in autumn, even from a young age. It produces medium-sized fruit with a smooth skin and juicy flesh. The fruit result from bright red flowers in summer which are set amidst the dark green leaves. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide but is often trimmed to smaller sizes. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, fertile site, and sites prone to heavy frost should be avoided, particularly during establishment. It is tolerant of coastal environments, dry periods, and some wind. Feijoa ‘Unique’ is commonly grown for fruit production, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, or added to a mixed planting. The Plant Company recommends planting at least two varieties to provide for a longer period of fruiting and to ensure better pollination.
