Feijoa sellowiana ~ Pineapple Guava

I use the Pineapple Guava as a large shrub, hedge or small tree.  As a tree Feijoa sellowiana is very sculptural with gracefully twisting trunk and branches.  It has a strong look about it.  The Pineapple Guava fruit is great out of hand.  I do not eat the skin though some people do.   The Feijoa sellowiana flowers are also both edible and fragrant.  They have a sweet pineapple flavor, a less sharp taste that that of the true pineapple.  The fruit comes ripe in October and November.  Feijoa sellowiana can grow to 20 feet or more.  Feijoa sellowiana is cold hardy beyond the low teens that I have observed on our property.  Feijoa sellowiana trees can produce immense amounts of fruit.  It is best to be prepared for it as it can be difficult near walkways.
