Feijoa sellowiana fresh seeds, Acca sellowiana, Feijoa seeds, Pineapple guava, Guavasteen, Fruit tree seeds, Organic seeds, Non GMO (lat. Acca sellowiana, Feijoa sellowiana).
A large evergreen spreading shrub or tree up to 4 m high. The root system lies rather superficially in the soil. Trunk with greenish-brown rough bark.
The leaves are entire-edged, oval, hard, leathery, on short petioles, light green-gray (bluish) below, pubescent, smooth, dark green above.
The flowers are four-membered, solitary, paired or several in a corymbose inflorescence, bisexual, with numerous stamens, white at the edges and pink closer to the center; self-sterile, pollinated by insects; blooms in May - June.
The fruit is a large, fleshy, juicy berry with sepals remaining on the top; dark green in color, oval in shape, length from 2 to 5, diameter from 1.5 to 3-4, weight from 15 to 60 g. The aroma and taste of the berry pulp resembles strawberries, pineapple and kiwi. The seeds are surrounded by a white translucent acidic pulp; the peel is from yellow-green smooth to dark green lumpy, sometimes with an anthocyanin coating.
Begins to bear fruit at 6-7 years of age. There is no frequency of fruiting.
The fruits are used in cooking, preparing compotes, lemonades, purees and salads; after cleaning, they are ground and mixed with honey or sugar, used for filling in baked goods and consumed raw.
A suitable option would be sandy or loamy soils, which are loose, fertile, moisture- and air-permeable, and slightly acidic (6.5 pH).
