Arrayan is not your everyday guava. It is a rare Central American guava with small, intensely aromatic fruits that pack a bold sweet-and-tangy punch. One bite and you get citrusy, floral flavor with just enough acidity to keep it exciting. Closely related to Cas guava, with a brighter, punchier flavor. The tree stays compact and tidy, making it perfect for home gardens, edible landscapes, and collectors who want something different. Even when not fruiting, it earns its place with attractive peeling bark and a naturally ornamental look. Known locally as Arrayan or Guayabillo, and in English as Little guava. It has compact growth - easier to manage than common guavas and perfect for containers.
Arrayan fruits ripen from fall through early spring, giving you fresh guava flavor when many other fruits are done for the season. The leaves are also traditionally valued, adding even more usefulness to this already special tree.
If you are looking to grow something uncommon, productive, and genuinely interesting - this is one of those plants people ask about the moment they see it. Great flavor, great looks, and not often available. Add it to your garden while you can.
