Can Feijoa Grow in Shade

Feijoa pineapple guava performs well in full sun or partial shade. It prefers rich, organic, well-drained soil with an acid or slightly alkaline pH. When the pH is too high, the leaves turn yellow.

Do feijoas need full sun?

Feijoas grow best in sites with full sun and can be planted at any time of year. Prepare the site by mixing Tui Super Sheep Pellets and gypsum with soil from the planting hole. Adding these products increases organic matter and nutrients in the soil, as well as improving drainage.

What conditions do feijoa trees like?

Feijoas prefer a sunny situation and can handle most soil conditions, from heavy clays to light sandy soils, but will do best in a well-drained situation. They’ll also thrive in a container. Planting in autumn is recommended.
