Acca are small, broad-leafed trees native to warm-temperate and sub-tropical areas. "Acca" comes from a Peruvian name. These trees produce both flowers and fruit. The most famous is the Fiejoa, also known as the Pineapple Guava (A. sellowiana), which produces egg-shaped fruits with edible pulp.
Water:
Acca thrives in subtropical conditions with high humidity and intermittent rainfall. It prefers evenly moist soil, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks, with increased frequency during the growing season to support its foliage and blooms. Moderate drought tolerance is observed once established.
Propagation:
Propagation methods for acca include seed sowing and semi-hardwood cuttings. Key factors are bright, indirect light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Handle carefully to prevent root disturbance. Propagation is medium difficulty, with specific steps for seeds and cuttings to ensure success.
