Guava: The Healthiest Fruit You Can Grow

Guava varieties: Pink flesh (upper left quarter), White flesh and Cas (upper right quarter), Red Cattley Guava (bottom left quarter) and Golden Cattley (bottom right quarter).

Let’s talk Guava. Few fruits check as many boxes: flavor, productivity, health, and adaptability. We’ve grown guava trees at Top Tropicals for years here in Florida, and it never fails to surprise people with how easy it is — and how quickly it rewards you.

🌿 Health Benefits

We know the first question: "Why guava in addition to all the other fruit trees I could plant?" Because guava is one of the healthiest tropical fruits you can eat and grow — and it produces faster than almost anything else.

• Vitamin C powerhouse — guava has four times more vitamin C than oranges. One fruit covers your daily needs and then some.
• Potassium and fiber — good for balancing blood pressure and keeping your heart strong.
• Antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C — these keep your skin glowing and help protect your cells from damage.
• Dietary fiber — aids digestion and helps keep blood sugar steady.
• Guava is a true "food as medicine" tree you can plant right in your backyard or in pot.
