Feijoa Takaka Details

Feijoa Takaka is a variety of Feijoa that produces high yields of medium sized fruit. The fruit has a semi-smooth, light green skin, and flesh has a pleasant tropical flavour. The fruit result from bright red flowers in summer which are set amidst the dark green leaves. This evergreen shrub typically grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, fertile site, and is tolerant of coastal environments, short periods of dry, some wind, and moderate frost once established. Feijoa Takaka is commonly grown for fruit production, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, included in cottage gardens, or added into a mixed planting. The Plant Company recommends planting at least two varieties to provide for a longer period of fruiting and to ensure better pollination.
