Araca Pera, Brazilian Guava tree (Psidium x angulatum)
🍷 What Guava variety is the best for Guava Vine
🍷 Araca Pera, or Brazilian Guava tree (Psidium x angulatum), is a unique Guava hybrid of a flavorful wild guava from the Brazilian Amazon which is rare in cultivation.
🍷 These fruit are 1.5-2", with an acidic, sour guava-like flavor. Its juice is concentrated and must be diluted and sweetened to produce a delicious drink.
🍷 It is the major source of a special Guava Wine production. Our favorite Guava Wine is from Schnebly Redland's Winery - this is where we obtained the seeds from their mother plants. This refreshing and vibrant rose wine is full of flavor and has a bouquet that never stops.
🍷 The fruit is processed into ice cream sorbet, gelatins and candies.
🍷 A great container specimen or a bushy tree for frost-free gardens.
