Feijoa 'White Goose' Care Tips

Feijoa 'White Goose' 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 for Feijoa 'White Goose'

Feijoa 'White Goose' typically grows to 3-4 m tall and 2-3 m wide, forming a dense, rounded shrub or small tree. Space plants about 1 m apart for hedging or shelter planting.
