What if you could both landscape and grow food at the same time?
In this episode, we introduce the fejoia, or pineapple guava--a landscaping tree/shrub as well as a fruiting tree/shrub! We bring you along as the fejoia flowers and then produces fruit.

Glad you enjoyed!

The blossoms taste good too.

[@practicalorganicliving]

Yes! We forgot to film the blossom picking part but the bubble gum taste is very interesting and tasty!

I grow both regular guava and pineapple guava in my zone 10a Southern California garden

[@practicalorganicliving]

We do too! Hopefully we’ll make a video about tropical guavas sometime :)

[@thedomestead3546]

Are these grafted, cuttings or seedlings?

[@practicalorganicliving]

We bought them at a nursery so my guess is that they were air grafted or cuttings. :)

How many years does it fruit?

[@practicalorganicliving]

It fruited pretty quickly quickly! Maybe a year or two? But it was probably at the nursery for a year already….hope this helps!

How many years did it take you to grow your pineapple guava to get to the size that you were showing?

[@practicalorganicliving]

About 3 years! And we prune the tops so they don’t get too top heavy. They grow quickly :)

[@chrisucf]

@@practicalorganicliving Thanks! And, I really like how you pruned your trees to be slim and tall. I see others keep it in a bush format, but I want to prune mine like yours!

[@practicalorganicliving]

@chrisucf either way works!

[@thedomestead3546]

Such a candy fruit

[@practicalorganicliving]

Agreed!!!

which variety / cultivar is this pineapple guava?

[@practicalorganicliving]

Coolidge variety. The nursery recommended this one for our climate-there are a lot of varieties but it’s important to choose what grows well in your garden!

Try to eat this with skin..it also taste great with skin.

[@practicalorganicliving]
