PINEAPPLE GUAVA TREE SEEDS (Feijoa sellowiana)

The Feijoa sellowiana, commonly known as Pineapple Guava or Feijoa, is a highly prized evergreen fruiting shrub valued for its delicious tropical fruit, stunning edible flowers, and exceptional ornamental beauty. Native to southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, this subtropical species has become especially popular in home orchards and edible landscapes throughout mild climates worldwide.

Known for its dense branching habit and attractive silver-backed foliage, Pineapple Guava is widely used for edible hedges, privacy screens, ornamental landscaping, and backyard fruit production. When planted closely together, it forms an excellent evergreen windbreak or hedge while also producing abundant fragrant fruit.

This species typically grows 10–15 feet tall with a naturally multi-branched form, though it can also be trained into a small single-trunk tree or espaliered against walls and fences. The glossy green leaves contrast beautifully with their soft silvery undersides, giving the plant year-round ornamental appeal.

Pineapple Guava produces spectacular red and white flowers with thick edible petals that are sweet and aromatic with a flavor often compared to cotton candy or marshmallow. The flowers are followed by fragrant green oval fruits with a sweet tropical flavor blending notes of pineapple, guava, mint, and citrus.

🌱 Growing & Care Information

Light: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Well-drained soil; adaptable to many soil types

Pineapple Guava thrives in regions with mild winters and warm summers and is more cold hardy than many tropical fruit species. It performs best in well-drained soil with regular watering during fruit development, though mature plants become highly drought tolerant once established.

This species is especially valued for its ornamental foliage, edible flowers, fragrant fruit, and ability to function as both a productive fruit plant and an attractive landscape shrub.

Pineapple Guava Germination:

"Seeds are Very Tiny, more like the size of Black Pepper than an Actual seed, so use a pair of Tweezers to handle them."

1) Prepare a seed-flat with soil-less seed-starting mix. Pineapple guava seeds are prone to soil microbes that exist in garden soil and soil-based potting soil. A soil-less seed starting mix provides a sterile environment, increasing germination rates.

2) Use a mix of equal parts sand, perlite and peat moss or coconut coir to provide an environment that combines good drainage, a loose medium and a support system for the new seedlings. 

3) Use a heated propagator to keep soil temperature above 75 degrees F.

4) Like any Tropical or Exotic seed, Pineapple guava seeds take 21 to 60 days to germinate at 75+ degrees F.

Germinación de Guayaba Piña:

"Las semillas son muy pequeñas, más parecidas al tamaño de una pimienta negra que a una semilla real, así que use pinzas para manipularlas."

1) Prepare un semillero con sustrato para germinar. Las semillas de guayaba piña son propensas a los microbios presentes en la tierra del jardín y la tierra para macetas. Un sustrato para germinar proporciona un ambiente estéril, lo que aumenta las tasas de germinación.

2) Use una mezcla a partes iguales de arena, perlita y turba o fibra de coco para crear un ambiente que combine buen drenaje, un sustrato suelto y un sistema de soporte para las nuevas plántulas.

3) Use un propagador con calefacción para mantener la temperatura del suelo por encima de los 24 °C.

4) Como cualquier semilla tropical o exótica, las semillas de guayaba piña tardan de 21 a 60 días en germinar a más de 24 °C.
