Growing the Kakariki Feijoa Successfully in NZ

The Kakariki 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 Kakariki Care Tips

Feijoa Kakariki 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 Kakariki 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.
