The Evergreen Shrub of the Pineapple Guava - Gardening and Hobby 75

Monday, December 22, 2025
In case you never seen the fruits, their sizes are about the Kiwi. Interestingly, they stay green, and when ripe they drop off.


Fig 01 - Fruit of Pineapple guavas. 

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.
