Feijoa 'Kaiteri'

Growing the Kaiteri Feijoa Successfully in NZ

The Kaiteri Feijoa 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 on the safe side. 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 'Kaiteri' Care Tips

Feijoa 'Kaiteri' prefers a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry periods, mainly while the plant establishes and produces fruit. Apply mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after fruiting to maintain shape and encourage airflow. Feeding with fruit tree fertiliser in spring will promote healthy growth and more prolific fruiting.

Plant Size and Spacing

Feijoa 'Kaiteri' typically grows to 2.5-3 m tall and 2-2.5 m wide, forming a dense, bushy shrub. Space plants are at least 2–2.5 m apart for optimal growth and airflow. This allows ample room for fruiting and maintenance when grown as a standalone tree. For hedging, space the plants about 1 m apart so they merge effectively.
