I'm starting to think about plans for my back garden, although construction of the house hasn't started yet
I have a 1.8m rear fence however the living area of the house behind looks over the fence into what will be my backyard.
As my block has a stormwater easement at the rear, a row of screening trees in pots will probably be the most practical solution.
I stumbled across the feijoa which is an attractive tree that produces a pink flower and a guava-style fruit.

My aim would be to grow these to a maximum of 2.5 to 3m as I think this would be an adequate height for screening. I'm not looking for a dense hedge. I'm thinking of 5 trees at 2 metre intervals.
Has anyone had experience with growing these in a pot. Would they grow okay in Sydney? Has anyone had one that produces good fruit in Sydney?
