Supplied as a pot grown plant approximately 12" tall.

Sometimes known as Guava, Pineapple Guava and even by its previous Latin name of Feijoa this is an interesting subject for the garden that produces edible fruits that taste of plum, apple, peach, strawberry and pineapple all rolled into one. The unusual flowers, which are crimson and white with crimson stamens, are edible too - with a rich aromatic flavour.

Originating from Brazil, these can be grown outside in the UK (hardy to -12°C) throughout the year - though fruits will only ripen outside in long hot summers or if grown in a conservatory sunroom.
