Feijoa sellowiana is naturally found in South America growing in northern Argentina and southern Brazil chiefly in the valleys of the Prana and Paraguay rivers. 

It prefers a organic rich well-drained sandy loam with reliable moisture in a protected sunny position and is frost and drought tender. 

Feijoa is grown for its attractive flowers, editable fruit and its bushy habit. It is planted in small gardens or parks as a specimen or along borders for screening. It is also used in sub-tropical settings and the tree is cultivated for commercial cropping. It is trained as an espalier against a wall or grown in tubs and planter boxes and establishes in 3 to 5 years. ID 788
