I bought mine from Wellspring Gardens April 2013: $4.95 ea twigs on arrival, I planted them in a $5.00 Walmart 16 gallon tote. They need to go in the ground but we were waiting for our 68 year old pine in the front to be removed. They can be trained into many forms, we like a shrub form.
Acca sellowiana, Feijoa. Attractive gray-green evergreen shrub or tree which produces small very tasty fruit in late summer and early fall. Excellent as a hedge or can grow to a small tree.
The subacid Fruit are oval-shaped and 1 - 3 inches in length. The fruit is not a guava, but the flavor suggests a combination of pineapple and guava sometimes with a hint of spearmint or wintergreen.
Native to South America. Grows best in cooler areas where the temperature stays above 15F. Fruit and flower production is best in areas that receive atleast 50 hours of chilling each year.
Prefers full sun, partial sun or partial shade. Drought tolerant once established. If left unpruned it will form a small tree with a height and spread of 15 feet. Zone 8. Has been successfully grown in protected areas of Victoria, B.C.(Canada)
