Feijoa sellowiana - Pineapple Guava (15 Gallon)

About this item

Pineapple Guava is a beautiful and versatile evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its attractive gray-green foliage, showy edible flowers, and delicious tropical fruit. With its naturally upright, branching growth habit and lush year-round appearance, this easy-to-grow plant is an excellent addition to both ornamental and edible landscapes.

In early summer, striking flowers emerge with fleshy white petals accented by brilliant red stamens, creating a beautiful contrast against the silvery gray-green foliage. Not only are the flowers exceptionally ornamental, but their sweet, fleshy petals are also edible. As the seasons progress, the plant produces flavorful, guava-like fruit with a distinctive tropical sweetness that ripens in late fall.

Highly adaptable and easy to maintain, Pineapple Guava can be trained into an attractive hedge, espalier, or small specimen tree. Its versatility also makes it an excellent choice for coastal landscapes, privacy screening, edible gardens, and large patio containers. The evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and beauty, while the flowers and fruit offer additional seasonal interest.

This selection is grown from seed and is not a named cultivar. Although somewhat self-fertile, planting a second Pineapple Guava nearby is recommended to encourage better pollination and improve fruit production.

An outstanding choice for gardeners seeking a plant that combines ornamental appeal, edible flowers, and delicious homegrown fruit.
