Feijoa, or Pineapple Guava, is a hardy evergreen shrub with grey-green leaves that are silvery underneath and eye-catching red and white flowers in late spring. In autumn it produces sweet, aromatic green fruit with a flavour somewhere between pineapple, guava and mint. It handles Canberra frosts better than most fruiting plants and makes a productive hedge or screen.

  • Flowers: Red and white flowers in late spring; the petals are edible
  • Fruit: Oval green fruit in autumn; plant two for better crops
  • Growth habit: Dense, bushy evergreen shrub or small tree
  • Position: Full sun
  • Climate: Frost hardy to around -9C; drought tolerant once established
  • Water needs: Moderate; regular water while fruiting
  • Soil: Rich, free-draining soil. Break up clay with gypsum clay breaker. In pots, use Osmocote Citrus & Fruit Potting Mix.
  • Feeding: A hungry feeder: Black Marvel Fruit & Citrus Food in early spring and again in late summer, with PowerFeed as a liquid boost.
  • Maintenance: Low; prune after fruiting to shape
  • Ideal for: Edible hedges and screens, fruit gardens, backyard feature shrub
