Pineapple Guava is a stunning evergreen plant, which is native to South America but perfectly happy here in the UK. Like a bird of paradise, its flamboyant sorbet pink and ice-white blooms will create an exotic display from late spring to early summer, and sweet nectar that butterflies just love.

In the autumn this amazing plant then produces the most delicious tropical tasting, vibrant green egg-shaped fruits, similar to a kiwi but smoother skinned. With its unique ‘tropical apple’ flavour, the soft, succulent flesh is wonderful eaten on its own, turned into a smoothie or baked in a pie or crumble for an extra special treat.

Supplied as a fully established 5 litre potted plant the Pineapple Guava is a hardy evegreen that will grow into a very attractive 6ft x 6ft garden shrub; when planted in a sheltered sunny spot it will comfortably withstand temperatures down to -5 and fruit reliably year after year.
