Best Feijoa Trees In New Zealand

Feijoas, also known as pineapple guavas or guavasteen, are a much-loved fruit in New Zealand. With their unique flavour profile—a mix of sweet, tangy, and aromatic—they have become a staple in Kiwi gardens and kitchens. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a novice, choosing the right feijoa tree can make all the difference in your harvest. In this guide, we'll explore the best feijoa trees to grow in New Zealand and everything you need to know to cultivate them successfully.

Why Grow Feijoa Trees?

Feijoa trees are an excellent addition to any New Zealand garden. Not only do they produce delicious fruit, but they also serve as attractive, evergreen hedges or standalone trees. They are relatively easy to grow, require minimal maintenance, and can thrive in a variety of soil types. Whether you want to enjoy fresh feijoas straight from the tree or use them in cooking, these trees offer versatility and beauty to your garden.

Benefits of Feijoa Trees

  1. Versatile Use: Feijoas can be eaten fresh, made into jams, jellies, or desserts, and even fermented into alcoholic beverages.
  2. Easy to Grow: Feijoa trees are hardy and can withstand various weather conditions, making them ideal for the New Zealand climate.
  3. Attractive Hedges: With their dense foliage, feijoa trees can be used as privacy hedges or windbreaks.

When Is Feijoa Season in NZ?

Understanding the feijoa season is essential for planning your harvest and enjoying the fruits at their peak. In New Zealand, the feijoa season typically runs from March to June, with the peak harvest occurring in April and May. During this time, the fruits are at their juiciest and most flavourful.

Tips for a Successful Harvest

  1. Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on your feijoa trees as the season approaches. The fruit is ready to pick when it drops from the tree or comes off easily when gently lifted.
  2. Proper Storage: Store harvested feijoas in a cool, dry place. They can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
  3. Optimal Use: To enjoy feijoas at their best, consume them fresh or use them in recipes soon after harvesting.

How to Buy Feijoa Trees

When looking to buy feijoa trees, consider factors such as the variety, size, and growth habit. The Plant Company offers a range of feijoa trees suitable for different garden sizes and purposes.

Feijoa Hedge: A Functional and Aesthetic Choice

Using feijoa trees to create a hedge is a practical and attractive way to incorporate them into your garden. A feijoa hedge not only provides privacy and shelter from the wind but also offers an abundant harvest of fruit.

Creating a Feijoa Hedge

  1. Spacing: Plant feijoa trees about 1 to 1.5 meters apart to form a dense hedge.
  2. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and encourages new growth, leading to more fruit production.
  3. Maintenance: Feijoa hedges require minimal maintenance, making them a low-effort option for any garden.
