The Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana) is a slow-growing shrub that needs little to no water once established. It can reach 15–25 feet tall if left unpruned or stay around 8×8 feet with regular trimming. The plant grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil.
It produces small, edible green fruit that drop naturally between October and December. In spring or early summer, it blooms with white and pink flowers that attract bees and birds. This plant is a good choice for low-water gardens in Sonoma and Marin Counties…
