🌿 About the plant:


Guava, Psidium guajava, belongs to the myrtle family and produces white, pink, or deep coral flesh depending on the variety. The fruit develops a strong, sweet fragrance as it ripens.

🏡 In the garden:


Guava trees flower on new growth, so light pruning encourages more blooms and fruit. They adapt well to different soils as long as drainage is good.
