Acca sellowiana gives your garden a flamboyant touch of the exotic. You will be able to enjoy your very own, home-grown tropical fruit, full of vitamin C, freshly picked from your very own tree.Attractive, evergreen, silver-blue-grey foliage with woolly white undersides is the perfect foil to display exotic-looking summer blooms. Four striking, fleshy, white and red-pink petals surround an explosion of vibrant red filaments.Also known commonly as Pineapple guava, the many fragrant, egg-sized, wine-red flushed green fruits with minty-pineapple tasting flesh which appear in the autumn are edible. Originating from Brazil and Uruguay, where it is grown commercially, Acca sellowiana is tolerant of drought and coastal winds once established and prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in a sunny or partly shaded spot. Reaching a height and spread of around 1.5-2.5m, this half hardy perennial, which has been given an RHS rating of H3 will benefit from some protection in the coldest winters as temperatures drop below -5 C.
