What our customers say

The trees were delivered promptly and they are the biggest, best looking mail-order trees I have seen in a long time. I will be ordering more in the future.

Website customer · email

The bare roots are by far the most established roots that I have ever seen on a bareroot tree.

Website customer · email

It looks like it is at least 7 feet tall. I certainly was not expecting it to be that big.

Lisa · email

Absolutely beautiful trees, especially compared to some of the other mail order bare roots I have gotten from other companies.

Website customer · email

An extra long box for taller trees is totally worth it to me. The trees are great.

William · email

The plants look beautiful and healthy. I was impressed by the size and strength of the 3-Cherry Tree.

Jose · email

Bare root was in great condition. A lot of branching and looks ready for a harvest this year. Best fruit trees in the business!

Daniel, Lapin cherry · website review

Very nice big tree, some limbs already blooming. I've planted it and it hasn't wilted. Arrived quickly and very well packaged.

Beulah, 4 in 1 Fruit Salad · website review

They have really healthy plants, all were larger than I expected. I for sure will be ordering more from them!

Billie · website review

Arrived quickly and in great shape, larger than I had expected too.

Ralph, red currant · website review

Thank you so much for these lovely hardy kiwis. They are much bigger than expected. Will be ordering from you again.

Irene · email

Boxed perfect. Shipped on time. Excellent quality stock. About the only thing you could do to improve my experience would be to fly out to Maine and plant them for me.

Don, Maine · email

I have been buying from your nursery for years, and hands down your citrus has survived the best out of all of my sources. I have never lost a plant in my colder climate.

Returning customer · email

The packaging for those kiwis was brilliant and by far the best packaging job out of any place I ordered from this year. Your Annas are tough as nails.

Travis · email

I received my pink currant in perfect condition. I am always amazed since I live in the southeast and they are in the northwest!

Susan · website review

All 3 bushes arrived looking healthy. It's been over a month and they are still going strong.

Description

Marion is a pineapple guava grown for its large, exceptionally sweet fruit. It ripens early in the season, ahead of most pineapple guava cultivars.

Like most pineapple guavas, Marion sets a heavier crop with a second cultivar nearby to complete pollination.

Overview

  • Large, exceptionally sweet fruit
  • Early-season ripening
  • Partially self-fertile
  • Hardier than it looks; an established plant shrugs off brief single-digit cold

Growing Details

Latin Name: Acca sellowiana ‘Marion’
Site and Soil: Full sun to part shade, sheltered; well-drained soil
Hardiness:Hardy to roughly 10F – mature plants have survived lower
Rootstock: Grafted onto pineapple guava seedling rootstock
Bearing Age: 2 to 3 years after planting
Size at Maturity: 10 to 12 ft – often maintained smaller
Ripening Time: Mid to late season; mid-October into early November
Pollination: Partially self-fertile; plant a second cultivar for a full crop
Pests & Diseases: Very resilient; typically pest-free in home gardens
Yield: Heavy cropping

Additional Notes

  • Grower’s Insight: Plant a second pineapple guava nearby; Marion sets a heavier crop with a pollination partner.
  • Regional Insight: Pineapple guavas perform best in mild-winter regions such as coastal California, the Gulf Coast, and the Pacific Northwest.

Planting & Care – Marion Pineapple Guava

Site Selection

  • Choose a sunny, sheltered spot; wind bruises fruit and breaks branches.
  • Tolerates salt spray, so coastal sites work well.

Soil Preparation

  • Use well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0.
  • Tolerates soils from sandy to heavy clay given good drainage.
  • Mix in compost at planting time to improve structure.

Planting Instructions

  1. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball.
  2. Set the plant with the root flare at soil level.
  3. Backfill with native soil and water in thoroughly.
  4. Mulch 2 to 3 inches deep, kept off the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

  • Keep soil evenly moist while fruit is sizing.
  • A dry spell during fruiting causes fruit and leaf drop.
  • Feed lightly in early spring.

Pollination

  • Marion is partially self-fertile and sets some fruit alone.
  • Plant a second pineapple guava nearby for a full crop.

Pruning & Training

  • Prune after harvest to shape; fruit forms on new wood.
  • Light hedging controls size without cutting next year’s crop.

Harvest & Use

  • Marion ripens mid to late season, October into November.
  • Fruit is ripe when it drops or twists free easily.
  • Collect frequently; flavor keeps developing for a few days after picking.

Cold Care

  • Shelter the first winter or two while the plant establishes.
  • An established, fully dormant plant takes brief single-digit cold.
  • A sudden autumn frost costs the ripening fruit before it harms the plant.

The plant came exceptionally well packaged. As a matter of fact the package appeared somewhat squished in transit, but the plant inside was still perfect.
