As a comment about Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana), greenman wrote:

My understanding is that it takes 2 plants to produce a good quantity of fruit. Although it will produce some with only 1 plant, cross pollination greatly increases fruit set, and perhaps taste and size? Can anyone confirm this?

I have also read that grafted plants are much better than seedling plants. Is this mainly fruit-set? Taste? Size?

California (Zone 9b)
I have one in my yard that I planted probably 25 years ago. It bombards me with fruit almost every year and I only have one plant which I have trained into a small tree shape. I don't water it much at all and rarely give it fertilizer, and I am in Northern California zone 9b with HOT triple digit summers.

I made pineapple guava jam one year which was unusual but pretty good. It's a unique fruit with an interesting perfumed flavor, and a beautiful trouble free plant.
