For the tropical fruit lover! This delicious pink fleshed guava has outstanding ornamental appeal.
The attractive purple tones are carried in the leaves, stems, flowers and fruit. Flowering starts at 3 to 4' in height and is followed by 3-4" diameter fruit.
I like the smell of guava, known in Mexico as the “gossip fruit”, because you can’t hide the smell.
