In case you never seen the fruits, their sizes are about the Kiwi. Interestingly, they stay green, and when ripe they drop off.
The scientific name of this plant is Acca sellowiana. In our areas the common names of the fruit are:
- Feijoa
- Guavasteen.
Several advantages to grow Pineapple Guava are:
- a low maintenance pant
- a small tree with sweet fruit
- and beautiful flowering
The skin of the fruit is hard, and they are very rot resistant. When ripe the fruit is very fragrant. It is a very tropical flavor.
It is extremely cold hardy that 9* F (-13* C) hard freeze. Had no effect on our small shrub.
Have you tasted of the Pineapple Guava.
