For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Feijoa, or Pineapple Guava, is a resilient and delicious evergreen shrub that thrives with neglect. This architectural plant features beautiful silvery-green foliage, stunning edible flowers with sweet petals and dramatic red stamens, and egg-shaped fruit with a surprising tropical flavor. The gritty yet creamy flesh tastes like a complex blend of pineapple, strawberry, and guava. Incredibly drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and cold-hardy for a subtropical fruit, it's a must-have for edible landscaping in Mediterranean and temperate climates.

Delicious, aromatic fruit with a unique tropical flavor reminiscent of pineapple, strawberry, and guava.
Stunning edible flowers with sweet, fleshy white petals and dramatic red stamens.
Exceptionally drought tolerant, pest-resistant, and moderately cold hardy (down to ~15°F).
A versatile evergreen plant used as a dense hedge, espalier, screen, or ornamental specimen.
While self-fertile, planting two varieties will significantly increase fruit production.
Slow to moderate growth rate, forming a dense, rounded shrub.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Complex and tropical—a distinct blend of pineapple, strawberry, and minty-guava.
Texture: Gritty like a pear near the skin, with a smooth, jelly-like seed pulp in the center.
Best Uses: Excellent fresh (scooped out of the skin). Perfect for making jelly, chutney, adding to smoothies, or baking into desserts.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Do I need two plants to get fruit?
A: You will get some fruit with one plant (it's partially self-fertile), but production increases dramatically with cross-pollination. Planting two different named varieties (e.g., 'Coolidge' and 'Pineapple Gem') is best.

Q: When is the fruit ripe?
A: The fruit ripens in fall. It's ready when it falls to the ground naturally. You can also gently twist it off the branch when it's slightly soft. The skin may remain green even when ripe.

Q: Can I eat the skin?
A: The skin is edible but often tart and gritty. Most people prefer to cut the fruit in half and scoop out the sweet, aromatic flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin.
