Feijoa is worth growing for its silvery evergreen foliage and remarkable edible flowers even before the fruit is considered. The green fruit develops a distinctive pineapple, strawberry and guava fragrance, but needs a warm position and favourable autumn to ripen properly. Planting two genetically different specimens usually improves cropping. It is as successful as an ornamental shrub as it is an unusual fruit plant.
