30 Seeds Pineapple Guava Acca sellowiana Feijoa Fruit Shrub

Pineapple Guava (Acca sellowiana), also called Feijoa, is a handsome evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its silvery-green foliage, showy edible flowers, and sweet, aromatic green fruit that tastes like a blend of pineapple, guava, and mint. It makes an attractive ornamental hedge or specimen plant and rewards growers with an unusual tropical-tasting harvest in mild climates.
The red-and-white flowers are edible and add a striking touch to gardens, while the oval green fruit is enjoyed fresh, scooped and eaten, or used in jams, jellies, and baked goods. Plants grow steadily into a dense, bushy form and respond well to light pruning for hedging. A productive and decorative choice for warm, sheltered gardens and containers.
