Pineapple Guava (Feijoa)

Plant in well-drained soil in full sun; pineapple guava tolerates drought, coastal salt spray, and moderate alkalinity better than most subtropical fruits. Most selections set better crops with a second nearby cultivar for cross-pollination, though some are self-fruitful. The showy red-stamened flowers are edible and mild-flavored — harvest petals before they fall for salads. Fruits drop naturally when ripe in autumn; check the ground daily and collect before birds and insects take them, then ripen indoors for 3–5 days until they yield to gentle pressure. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 96–180 дюймів Висота: 72–144 дюймів Дні до схожості: null–null Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C
