The Acca Feijoa, or Pineapple Guava, is a dense, bushy evergreen shrub or small tree valued for both its ornamental appeal and delicious fruit. It produces small, oval, olive-green fruit in autumn and early winter with a sweet, aromatic flavour often described as a blend of pineapple, apple, and mint. Fruit is best picked when the skin turns a lighter shade of green and then left to ripen at room temperature to avoid bruising. The plant itself is highly attractive, with leathery green leaves that feature distinctive silvery undersides. In spring it produces beautiful pink-white flowers with striking large red stamens, adding ornamental interest to the garden. Allo Feijoa is very versatile in the landscape and can be grown as a single-trunked small tree, trained as an espalier along wires, or clipped into a hedge or rounded shrub. Soil: Plant in well-drained soil, mulch and fertilise when planting.Conditions: Feijoas prefer a sunny location sheltered from strong wind. This fruit tree will tolerate frost once established. Suitable for cold, temperate and sub-tropical climates.Size: Height 4m x width 4m
