Pineapple Guava 'Fejioa' 3 Gal

Guava Feijoa – 3 Gallon Pot
A Sweet Slice of the South with a Tropical Touch

Add a little joy to your garden with our Guava Feijoa, also known as Pineapple Guava—a charming fruiting shrub that brings together beauty, bounty, and a whole lot of southern charm. With soft, silvery green leaves, cheerful red and white flowers, and sweet, edible fruit, this plant feels like a garden party waiting to happen.

Originally native to South America, Guava Feijoa has found a second home in southern yards where families gather, children play, and neighbors swap recipes over the fence. Its hardy nature and lovely blooms make it a favorite for both ornamental use and backyard harvests.

Where It Grows Best:
This guava thrives in zones 8–11, making it right at home here in the South. It loves full sun to partial shade and appreciates well-drained soil. Guava Feijoa is drought-tolerant once established, making it a dependable and rewarding choice for low-maintenance landscapes.

Care Instructions:

• Water: Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it’s fairly drought-tolerant—like a good neighbor who doesn’t ask for much but always shows up.

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun for best fruit production, though it can handle a bit of afternoon shade.

• Feeding: A light spring feeding with all-purpose fertilizer helps it thrive.

• Pruning: Light pruning in late winter or early spring keeps its shape tidy and encourages strong growth.

Pair It With:
Guava Feijoa looks lovely alongside rosemary, lavender, salvia, or lantana—plants that enjoy similar sun-loving conditions. It also fits beautifully into cottage-style gardens, edible landscapes, or even as a handsome privacy hedge along a fence line. Its silvery foliage adds texture and contrast that pairs well with classic southern blooms like gardenias and camellias.

And let’s not forget the fruit—sweet, fragrant, and perfect for making jams, desserts, or sharing with neighbors. When planted near porches or patios, Guava Feijoa invites connection, conversation, and the kind of slow, simple moments that make a house feel like home.
