Pineapple guavas, otherwise known as feijoa or Acca sellowiana, are subtropical plants well-suited to backyards in warmer climes (hardiness zones 8-10). Their evergreen leaves offer year-round color and privacy, while their red-centered blooms brighten the springtime landscape. If conditions are right, they also produce fruit, which is green, fragrant, and sweet.
Pineapple guavas are relatively low-maintenance trees and shrubs, being slow-growing and somewhat drought-tolerant once mature. But, like all plants, providing optimum conditions will encourage them to perform at their best.
