    🍉 Why we love Guava?

<
💋Fast-growing and sun-loving
  • &💋Thrives with plenty of water but handle short droughts
  • &💋Starts producing right away - no years of waiting
  • &💋Abundant fruit harvests
  • &💋Perfect for containers or small gardens
<

🍉 What are the best Guava varieties? Our favorites are:

  • &💋Dwarf Guava - stays under 6 feet but produces full-sized fruit.
  • &💋Honeymoon Variegated - leaves and fruit have variegated patterns, turning golden when ripe.
  • &💋Barbie Pink - pear-shaped yellow fruit with thick pink flesh, low in pectin, perfect for fresh eating or juice. Larger than Ruby Supreme and cold-hardy for a tropical fruit.
  • &💋Hong Kong (Hawaiian) - large, round fruit with smooth pink skin, sweet flavor, and few seeds. Very productive, with a spreading growth habit.
  • &💋Kilo White - huge fruit (up to 1 kilo = 2 lbs) with soft white flesh and few seeds. Great container plant, fruits even when small.
  • &💋Tikal - compact tree with yellow-skinned, pink-fleshed fruit. Fruits year-round and starts young. Great for beginners.

🍉 Health boost in every bite:


Guava is one of the richest sources of vitamin C – even more than oranges. It’s loaded with antioxidants, fiber, potassium, and lycopene, which support immunity, heart health, and digestion.<
<
🍉 Whether you’ve got space for a tree in the yard or just a container on the patio, a guava will reward you with beauty, fragrance, and sweet fruit in no time.<
