Pineapple Guava

Also known as Feijoa--a flowering plant in the Myrtle family.

It is native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, N. Argentina and Colombia.

The Pineapple Guava is not a true guava---it is an evergreen perennial shrub or small tree, ranging from 1-7 meters (3.3-23 feet) high, and cultivated as an ornamental and fruit tree. Their fruit is about the size of a chicken egg, and tasted like pineapple, apple, and mint. It closely resembles a guava, with a grittier texture, and ripens in Autumn.
