Notes
'Takaka' pineapple guava (Feijoa sellowiana 'Takaka') is a fruit for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It is an evergreen with gray green leaves and white flowers with red accents from early to late summer. The fruits taste like mint and pineapple. It is self-fertile, but it sets more fruit when another variety grows nearby.
Pairs well with Pink Lady apple, Brown Turkey fig, and Mediterranean spurge.
