Feijoa sellowiana Berg (pineapple guava or feijoa)is a woody myrtaceous species from South America, used both as an ornamental and as a fruit crop. The agronomic interest of this species, and the difficulties in propagating it by conventional methods, led us to test different tissue culture techniques. The present work reports production of feijoa plants by organogenesis and axillary shoot proliferation. Adventitious shoots were produced from young leaves. Highest rates of organogenesis (20
