Description:
Feijoa sellowiana, also known as pineapple guava, is a dwarf fruit-bearing shrub with egg-shaped fruits that are 1.5 to 3 inches long. The fruits have a bluish-green, waxy exterior and a sweet fragrance with a creamy white center, offering a flavor reminiscent of strawberry, pineapple, and guava. This plant blooms with edible spring petals that are dark red with white edges and has dense, grayish-green foliage. It grows to a compact size of 3 to 4 feet in both height and width, making it suitable for small gardens. Hardy in USDA Zones 8-10, it thrives in full sun and requires regular watering during its initial growing seasons. Over time, it becomes more drought-tolerant. The plant is also known for its ornamental value, with its unique foliage and fragrant flowers.
