Feijoa Kakariki Details

Feijoa Kakariki is an early season variety of Feijoa that produces large, sweet fruit in autumn. The fruit result from bright red flowers in summer which are set amidst the dark green leaves. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide but can be trimmed as necessary. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, fertile site. Sites prone to heavy frost should be avoided, particularly during establishment. It is tolerant of coastal environments, dry periods, and some wind. Feijoa Kakariki is commonly grown for fruit production, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, or added to a mixed planting. The Plant Company recommends planting another variety of Feijoa nearby to aid pollination for higher yields and to give a longer fruiting season.
