Common Names: Feijoa, Pineapple Guava, Mammoth Feijoa
Mammoth as the name suggests makes extra-large, high-quality fruit. This grafted variety produces heavy crops of soft, juicy fruit with a sweet, aromatic pineapple-guava flavour. It performs brilliantly in Perth and is ideal for home orchards, hedging, or large pots.
Features:
Ideal prune height range: 2-3m
pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 7.0
Shade or full sun: Full sun to part shade
Minimum pot year 5: 50L pot
Time to fruit age: 1-2 years (grafted)
Mammoth feijoas are hardy, evergreen shrubs with attractive grey-green foliage and striking red-and-white edible flowers in spring. They tolerate Perth’s hot summers well with regular summer watering and good organic mulch. While partially self-fertile, planting alongside another feijoa variety like Duffy or Apollo will boost fruit yield significantly.
Interesting Notes:
The flower petals are sweet and edible, making a tasty addition to salads or summer drinks without harming your fruit crop.
Feijoa fruit drops naturally when ripe, making harvesting easy—just pick them up fresh off the ground.
