FEIJOA sellowiana. Pineapple guava. Brazil. A decorative shrub or small tree of the myrtle family, growing 10-20’ tall. It has attractive tan to cinnamon trunks and is closely branched above. Deep green oval leaves with white undersides, up to 3” long, are paired along the younger stems. In early summer it makes a dramatic show of 1-2” flowers, each with a brush of red stamens, the reddish petals inrolled to show their white undersides. From these develop greyish green, thick-skinned fruits which, at their best, have a wonderful spicy flavor. ‘Mammoth’ is a selected clone with flavorful fruits up to 4” long.  ‘Unique’ has more but smaller fruits with excellent flavor. Both are self-fertile (random seedlings may not bear well without others nearby for cross-pollination). Sun, most soils, moderate to occasional watering when established. Hardy to 20^oF or less.
