Pineapple Guava Seedling Highlights

  • Fruiting Time: Pineapple guava, also known as feijoa, typically begins to produce fruit within 3 to 5 years after planting from seed. This perennial shrub offers a delicious harvest annually once established.
  • Climate Needs: Feijoas thrive in temperate climates and are known for their tolerance to cooler temperatures, including light frosts once mature. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
  • Soil Requirements: These plants are adaptable to a range of soil types but perform best in well-draining, fertile soil. Amending the soil with compost can improve growth and fruit production.
  • Pollination: While some feijoa varieties are self-pollinating, cross-pollination with another feijoa plant often results in a more abundant fruit set. Birds and insects are common pollinators.
  • Harvest Season: The fruit typically ripens in the autumn or early winter, depending on the specific climate and variety. The berries are ready to harvest when they fall naturally from the tree or can be gently pulled.
