## Overview

The Pineapple Guava (Feijoa) is a slow-growing, multistemmed shrub native to South America, prized for its edible, tropical-flavored fruit and attractive flowers. Adapted to USDA zones 8-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade with minimal care. Its versatility allows it to be shaped as a small tree, hedge, or patio plant, making it a unique and low-maintenance addition to any indoor or outdoor garden.

## Description

The Pineapple Guava is a slow-growing, multistemmed shrub that can be trained to a small tree with a single trunk, espaliered, or pruned to form a dense hedge or screen. Without any pruning, the shrub may reach 15' high. The egg-shaped leaves are 2"-3" long and silvery underneath. The edible flowers are very attractive, about an inch cross with white petals and showy scarlet stamens. The edible fruits are round or egg-shaped, 1"-3" long, with waxy blue-green or gray-green skins and juicy greenish white pulp.Location:The feijoa is native to subtropical Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil. Light: Full sun to part shade.Moisture: Feijoas will thrive with little care in most well-drained soils. They rarely have any disease or pest problems, do,t need much fertilizer and usually don't need supplemental watering except in very dry climates.Hardiness: Feijoas are adapted to USDA Zones 8 and 9, and do best where the winters are cool (they are hardy to 10 degrees F) and the summers moderate (between 80 degrees and 90 degrees F).The Pineapple Guava also makes a great patio plant, outside during the summer and indoors during the winter.

Review: Pineapple guava - We're always in the market for unusual fruit trees and shrubs for our farm. After reading about pineapple guava we had to give it a try. We purchased two plants because they produce more fruit if cross polination is available. Our trees survived several hard freezes, into the teens, their first winter. We did cover them with buckets on the coldest nights. There was little growth in the spring and we worried about how they would do when our hot/dry summer finally began. We were suprised when, during the heat of summer, the little plants suddenly began to thrive. One of the trees which was planted in rich soil doubled in size. The other, with a less favorable location (planted in clay soil) grew as well, but not so much as the other. We did water them occassionally even though dry weather never really seemed to effect them. The plants are two years old now and doing very well. We hope to get fruit in two or three years. UPDATE: 11/01/12. Received our first crop of fruit this year. Only a couple of dozen fruit, but the plants are still small. This is a slow to moderat growing plant. The fruit is unusual and different. Highly recommended for those who like to try unusual fruit!
Review: died within first month - I really was hoping this would grow, but, it did not. Save your money and go to a local home store and buy it from their tree dept.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the variety name of this plant?  Is it Coolidge by any chance?  Anyone had success with a single plant, or are two plants needed?**
A: I'm sorry, I don't know the name of this particular plant.    I ordered one plant, but two small ones were sent, so I put them in the same pot and they are doing very well.   Nothing was said about needing two plants when I ordered.

**Q: Does this plant need a pollinator?**
A: I had two plants.  One died.  Produced more fruit when there was a pollinator, BUT still produces fruit without one.  Just doesn't product quite as much.  Not a big difference.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the plant/age?**
A: This is a very slow growing plant. Ours are 7 years old and aprox 4 feet tall.  Not very bushy either.  They do produce fruit each year which has an interesting taste.  Ours are at the edge of a flower bed but have not had a lot of special care given to them.  Basically planted them and performed only basic upkeep.  They are hardy in zone 8 and have very pretty flowers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this plant
*by I***T on December 13, 2009*

I have a pineapple guava I'd bough that was about 2 feet tall, and it's been pretty low maintenance and good for the end of the flower bed. I trim it once or twice a year and it's pretty easy to trim. It is slow growing. I just bought another one from Amazon (Hirts), and it was delivered very quickly and the plant is in great shape. The only thing I was a bit disappointed was that the plant was only 8-10 inches tall! Oh well. At least it's perfectly healthy.
