Feijoa Sellowiana

Feijoa Sellowiana is a seedling plant; the fruit will vary in size and flavour. They are primarily used as a hedging plant with the added benefit of producing fruit. Sellowiana also still produces large amounts of Pohutukawa-like flowers at Christmas time. Easy to grow in many soil types. Is a good strong grower. Picking season can vary, but a long picking season can often be achieved if multiple plants are planted. Fruit is ready when it changes colour and drops when touched.

Flowering occurs at the base of new season's growth. It is, therefore, essential to prune early in the season (if pruning is required) to ensure growth happens for flowering to occur and prune again later to maintain the shape and height of the hedge.
