Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana / Acca sellowiana) is a handsome shrub that's often used as a landscape or hedge plant. It's also known as Pineapple Guava because its fruit resembles the flavors of pineapple and strawberry. Harvest the fruit when it starts dropping to the ground. Pineapple Guava is excellent for warmer regions as it only requires only 50-100 chill hours per year.
