[AG] Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana)

[Linda A. Guy]

There's a nice summary in the Sunset Western Garden Guide, p. 292, where it is listed as growing in our zone. However, the book does suggest that
the fruit have better flavor in the cooler coastal climates, as opposed to the heat of low deserts. Being on a wall and facing west, you are
exposing your plant to one of the hottest scenarios of your yard.

This is a great plant to train as espalier, screen or hedge, or even as a small tree that looks like olive. It can take almost any amount of
pruning, which is best done in late spring since this is a frost sensitive plant.
