Those trees in view are all native evergreen Oaks. An ISA Certified Arborist was hired to shape and elevate the trees to above the existing rock outcropping. It's a beautiful setting! Pineapple Guava could be lovely placed similarly due to its scale and leaf. A Pineapple Guava was planted at this project closer to the house.

Ah, that makes perfect sense; and thanks so much for the great suggestion regarding the Pineapple Guava. I sincerely appreciate your assistance and time!

Thank you for the inquiry! It's my pleasure to be responsive and help in any way I can. I sincerely enjoy design and beauty discussions. Best wishes with your home and garden!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Monica; and congratulations on your several Houzz awards! Your professionalism and passion shine through what you obviously do extremely well.

You are very kind!

Hello again, Monica.

After a few weeks of research on evergreens for tall privacy screens, we have finally purchased five, single-trunk Pineapple Guava "patio" trees (four Nazemetz and one Coolidge). You were so kind with your assistance a few weeks ago, so I thought I might seek your advice regarding the spacing of these trees. We are hoping the trees will reach a mature height of 11 feet and will provide a dense screen of foliage above our six-foot fence line. (We have been advised by several local nurseries that this height should be attainable in our growing zone.) Do you have any recommendation on how close to plant these Pineapple Guavas to obtain both the optimal growth and the density we need? Thank you, once again, for any advice you may be able to provide!

Hi! I am not familiar with these varieties. You are clearly a good student of design, so I suggest you refer to your plant notes and consider the stated expected width. Assuming you are not limited along that back fence, you could space them at nearly the maximum for a solid screen. For example, if they are projected to be 12' wide, then space them something like 9' apart. Measure from trunk to trunk and step in half the distance from the sides ... I do not know Feijoa to be fast growing, so this is also a factor in planning for your screen. Take your site plan into a local nursery and show them what you have in mind for another opinion. Best wishes!

Thank you, Monica, for your kindness and for your professional advice. Your time is most sincerely appreciated, especially as life tugs us in myriad directions. Best wishes to you!
