    The plant has not had any fruit though. Have seen it a little under a year. Is there. Kind that doesn't fruit?

    It looks cold or drought damaged. Maybe some mulch and fertilizer might give it a better chance. Once it starts growing better, prune out dead branches.

    most varieties of Feijoa (or Acca, if you prefer, I do not) require two varieties for cross-pollenation. A single variety growing alone may not set fruit. One cv. 'Unique', is self-fruitful.

    There are no dead branches on it. They have already been pruned off of it. It has been hit with frost though but until frost ends there is nothing I can do for the plant. It has also been very well watered due to the large amounts of rain we've had during the past few months. The spindly look is probably due to the frost and previous hot summer during the time before I had it.
