Psidium guajava, commonly known as guava, is an evergreen fruit tree prized for its fragrant flowers and sweet, aromatic fruit. Fun fact: guavas contain exceptionally high amounts of vitamin C—many varieties provide several times more vitamin C than an orange. Their tropical flavor and reliable fruit production make them a favorite for fresh eating, juices, jams, and desserts.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply during extended dry periods, especially during flowering and fruit development
• Pruning: Prune after harvest or in late winter to maintain shape, improve air circulation, and encourage new fruiting wood
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer every 2–3 months during the growing season for best fruit production
