Pineapple Guava DownHome Harvest® Bambina™

Feijoa sellowiana 'Tharfiona'

Most Pineapple Guavas are grown from seed, and mature plants can be unpredictable. Bambina™️ is a dwarf variety grown from cuttings, which makes them very uniform, and perfect for smaller spaces. Tasty guava like fruit ripens in the fall.
