Feijoa 'Apollo' is a popular evergreen fruiting variety renowned for its large, juicy fruit and reliable harvests. Producing an abundance of delicious fruit during the mid-season, this versatile variety is an excellent choice for home orchards while also making an attractive evergreen hedge or screening plant.

Growing to approximately 3m high and 2.5m wide, 'Apollo' has an upright growth habit with glossy green foliage that provides year-round structure and privacy. In spring, it produces striking red flowers that not only add ornamental appeal but also attract birds and beneficial pollinators.

Although self-fertile and capable of producing fruit on its own, planting another feijoa variety nearby will significantly increase pollination and result in larger, heavier crops. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, 'Apollo' is a hardy, productive variety well suited to New Zealand gardens.
