Grow Your Own Tropical Delights with Pineapple Guava

Looking to add a unique and flavorful fruit tree to your garden? The Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana ‘Nazemetz’) is an excellent choice! This tropical fruit tree offers delicious fruit with a taste reminiscent of pineapple, banana, strawberry, guava, and quince. Enjoy fresh, homegrown fruit right from your backyard.

The Feijoa sellowiana ‘Nazemetz’ is a relatively small tree, typically growing to only 10-15 feet tall, making it ideal for gardens with limited space. It can be pruned to grow as a small tree or a large shrub, offering versatility in landscaping. This drought-tolerant tree is adaptable to many soil types, provided they are well-drained. For heavier clay soils, amending with coarse sand or chunky organic material will improve drainage.

Benefits of Growing Pineapple Guava:

• Unique and delicious fruit flavor
• Relatively small size, perfect for smaller gardens

For optimal fruit production, plant your Pineapple Guava in full sun in coastal regions. In hotter inland areas, provide morning sun and light afternoon shade. Regular watering during flowering and fruiting will ensure a bountiful harvest. Even if grown as an ornamental, the tree will add beauty to your landscape.
