30 Gallon Pineapple Guava Tree

(Acca sellowiana)

At Wrights Market, we love plants that are both beautiful and delicious—and the Pineapple Guava Tree is a Southern garden treasure that delivers both. With silvery-green foliage, striking tropical-style blooms, and sweet, aromatic fruit, this unique tree brings charm, fragrance, and flavor to the landscape.

Sometimes called Feijoa, Pineapple Guava is cherished in warm climates for its ornamental beauty and its pineapple-mint flavored fruit that tastes like a little bite of the tropics right from your own backyard.

🌿 Plant Story & Meaning

Native to South America but well-loved across the Southern United States, Pineapple Guava has long been planted in cottage orchards and home gardens where families gather fruit right off the tree.

Its beautiful red and white blossoms are not only eye-catching—they're edible and lightly sweet, making them a favorite among gardeners who love plants with a story and a purpose.

At Wrights Market, Pineapple Guava trees remind us that the most special gardens are the ones that feed both the table and the soul.

Fruit can be eaten fresh, scooped from the skin, or used in jams, desserts, cocktails, and preserves.

• Harvest Season: Fall
• Mature Height: 10–15 feet (can be pruned smaller)
