Pineapple guava / Feijoa tree in various sizes
Height:
- 20–40 cm
- 125-150 cm [PICKUP ONLY]
The pineapple guava has hermaphrodite flowers but is not self-fertile, so two plants are needed for fruit setting - not necessarily two different varieties, although it is considered to possibly improve fruit setting.
Common names: Pineapple guava, Feijoa
Scientific name: Feijoa / Acca sellowiana
Family: Myrtle family
History & use
The pineapple guava originates from South America and is cultivated for its aromatic, green fruits with a sweet taste reminiscent of pineapple and strawberry. The fruits are eaten fresh or used for jam, chutney, and desserts. The flowers are also edible and used for decoration or as an ingredient in salads. The plant is valued both for its fruits and its decorative silvery foliage.
Cultivation
The pineapple guava thrives in a sunny, sheltered location in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
In the mildest parts of the country, such as zone 1, the plant can be grown outdoors year-round if winter-covered with, for example, jute fabric or sheep wool mat. Here in Marieholm, zone 1, we have overwintered a small 40 cm pineapple guava outdoors with the help of winter covering in the form of a jute sack around the plant. It lost some leaves but survived and continued to grow lushly in spring with new leaves.
The plant was also overwintered in a pot, wrapped with a sheep wool mat - better results should be achieved if planted directly in the ground and allowed to overwinter that way.
Large trees probably manage even better.
In an unheated greenhouse, they survive without problems and keep their leaves year-round, even when inside temperatures have at times dropped to -15ºC.
In colder parts of the country, it is best grown in pots and kept frost-free during winter.
Characteristics
Longevity: Perennial
Growing site: Sun
Height: 2–4 meters
Growing zone: 1 (outdoors with winter covering in the mildest parts) / grown in pots elsewhere
