A versatile evergreen shrub with silvery-green leaves, fragrant pink and white flowers, and edible fruit with a tropical flavor. Grows 10-15 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide, but can be pruned into a hedge or small tree. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and attracts pollinators.
Growth Habit: Bush, shrub, 10-15 ft tall and wide
Native Origin: Florida and South America
Hardiness Zone: 8-11
Environmental Needs: Full Sun to Part Shade. It does well in any soil type but prefers an acidic soil. It is especially suited for coastal gardens because it tolerates salt spray.
Growth Rate: Moderate
Maintenance: It does well with minimal pruning and care and typically won’t require much irrigation beyond normal rainfall. Pineapple guava will begin producing fruit about 2-4 years after planting, and it reaches maturity and full fruiting potential at 8-10 years. Fruits can appear from September through November, depending on the variety.
