Pineapple Guava is used extensively as a shrub in the San Antonio area. The only problem is that people tend to try and hedge them up and end up losing the flowers hence no fruit. In some stores you can find the fruit labeled as Feijoas.

Yes, Feijoa sellowiana (pineapple guava) has beautiful flowers! I planted 3 of them along a section of our fence a few years ago and I have been very happy with them. The small, olive-sized fruit that follows the pretty flowers is delicious. Roselee correctly warns against pruning at the wrong time, which does result in the lack of fruit production. Best time to prune is late fall or early winter when the plant is dormant. Mine have never suffered from cold damage, even when winter temps went down to 20deg or slightly below

That is great news. His was a kinda small tree in form. Do you have any idea how large it gets? I have an area between our house and the neighbor's I would like to put a small tree.

Pineapple guavas are large shrubs, which easily grow 10-15 feet tall, although I have kept mine at six feet or so for many years. They can be grown in tree form, but I have let mine keep its shrub form, rather than training into a small tree.

I think I will try and find one and keep multiple trunks, and limb it up.
