• 🍋 The trees are super prolific - even young ones fruit heavily, and we make gallons of juice at Top Tropicals.
• 🍋 The best part? You can freeze the fruit or boil it into a concentrate with a bit of sugar. That drink lasts in the fridge for months without going bad, thanks to Cas Guava’s natural antibacterial punch.
