Description
The feijoa, botanically known as Acca sellowiana, belongs to the myrtle family and is native to South America, from Colombia through Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay to Argentina. As a shrub, it provides delicious fruit for your garden. A distinctive feature of this plant is its cold hardiness, which makes it surprisingly robust despite its origins.
Origin:
Colombia, southern Brazil, northeastern Uruguay, eastern Paraguay, northern Argentina
Growing tips
Make sure to allow plenty of space for the feijoa, as it grows into a shrub. Thanks to its cold hardiness, you don't need to worry too much about cooler weather. Give the fruit shrub time to grow in so that the plant can become well-established in its location.
