Feijoa

Feijoa, scientifically known as Acca sellowiana and commonly referred to as the pineapple guava or guavasteen, is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Native to the highlands of southern South America, it is widely cultivated for its delicious, aromatic edible fruit and its striking ornamental value. The plant features attractive dark green leathery leaves with silvery undersides and produces stunning, complex white flowers with prominent bright red stamens that are edible and pollinated by birds. Feijoa is well-adapted to subtropical and temperate climates, making it a favorite in home gardens for both its aesthetic appeal and its sweet, tropical-tasting autumn harvest.
