Abstract

Feijoa is one of the more promising native fruit-trees of Southern Brazil to be commercially
exploited in its native habitat. Its commercial exploration depends on the availability of cultivars which attend
the market by offering fruits with quality and fair prices. The two new cultivars, SCS 411 Alcântara e SCS 412
Helena, are the first ones to be available for feijoa production in Brazil and are the result of the genetic
improvement and selection program initiated by Epagri twenty years ago. Beyond good quality and high
productivity, these two cultivars offer a harvesting period of two months, from early March with ‘Alcântara’ to
late April with ‘Helena’.
