Growing Feijoa 'Arhart' Successfully in NZ

Feijoa 'Arhart' grows well in most New Zealand regions. It thrives in well-drained soil with good sunlight and benefits from occasional trimming. The plant company recommends protecting from heavy frosts in the first year of growing to be safe. 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 'Arhart' Care Tips

Feijoa 'Arhart' 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 'Arhart' grows to about 2.5-3 m tall and 2-2.5 m wide, forming a compact and upright shrub. For best results, space plants 2–2.5 m apart to ensure good airflow and ease of maintenance. This spacing supports healthy growth and maximises fruit production. For hedging, space plants 1-1.5 m apart so they merge nicely.
