Pineapple Guava

Feijoa sellowiana

A versatile, easy to grow landscape addition, yielding edible flowers and tropical fruit. White flower petals with showy red edges in the spring contract beautifully with the silver-green foliage. Guava-like fruit ripens in late fall. Multiple, upright branching form is easily trained as espalier, hedge, specimen tree, and makes a dense privacy screen. Very resistent to pests and diseases.
