How Do You Grow a Feijoa Tree

Plant feijoa in full sun; plants can tolerate partial shade. Plant feijoas in compost-rich, loamy soil that is well-drained. Feijoas grow best with a soil pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Avoid planting feijoas in low spots were cold air or frost can settle.

How long does it take a feijoa tree to fruit?

They will also tolerate a range of soil types, and should begin to fruit somewhere between 2-6 years of age (it depends on the cultivar apparently, and good care and attention will obviously help). Pollination of feijoas can be tricky.

Do you need a male and female feijoa tree?

All others require two or more trees for successful pollination and fruit formation, but even then it may not pay to rely on birds or bees to carry this out. It depends on where you live. In case you’ve forgotten, pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of the flower to the female part of the flower.
