Feijoa Trees

Embrace sustainable living and enjoy homegrown fresh produce with our Feijoa Trees (*Acca sellowiana*). A perfect addition to any productive garden, these trees are celebrated for their easy-to-grow nature, making them a beginner-friendly choice for those new to organic gardening. This heritage variety is known for being disease-resistant and promising a high yield of delicious fruit.

In Auckland, New Zealand, the ideal planting seasons are autumn and spring. Autumn planting allows the roots to establish over winter, while spring planting is best in areas with heavy frosts. Feijoa trees are a fantastic option for edible landscaping and can even thrive in containers, making them suitable for various garden sizes. For optimal fruit production, planting in full sun with well-drained soil is recommended. Regular watering, especially as the fruit develops, will ensure a healthy tree.

While many feijoa varieties are self-fertile, cross-pollination with another variety can lead to a heavier and larger crop. These pollinator-friendly trees, with their beautiful red flowers, will attract birds that help with the pollination process. Light pruning after fruiting encourages new growth for the following season. With a little fruit tree care, you’ll enjoy a bountiful harvest for years to come.
