Pineapple guava – Feijoa selloana

Just wondered if anyone has had experience with growing a Pineapple Guava in the Uk?

I am looking for something to line a short tropical walkway to act as screening for the rest of the garden. I need something which i will eventually be able to keep at a height of approx. 2m. It will possibly be placed next to a Choisya Ternata Sundance and will receive sunshine to late morning and then dappled shade after that.
Any alternative ideas are welcome! I did consider an Aucubu, but thought maybe the Guava would be something more unusual

 

It might work, but for good flowering you can't really expect to keep trimming them.
Are you hoping for fruit?

I've had 3 plants at different parts of the garden for more than 25yrs and I do get fruit, the general habit, I find is to be a small spreading tree when grown as a standard, but they also do well as a bush.
Never had problems with hardiness, although leaf loss after a cold easterly wind does happen but quickly replaced in spring.

 

Not really too bothered about fruiting, but if it did it would be viewed purely as a bonus.
Easterly winds could be an issue i guess, but like many other things in the garden i would be prepared to chance it.
