Guava Tree, Guava Fruit and Pineapple Guava
The Guava Tree produces different types of fruit and it is a tropical fruit that can be like the shape of pear, round or oval.
I actually love the juice for this tropical fruit, you can buy it fresh from the store or even canned.
It has a green rind or skin and pinkish or white flesh and small seeds in the center. Some people say it is better than an orange because it contains more Vitamin C than an orange and guava can be a lot cheaper than oranges.

As You Can See It Can Produce Several Different Types Of Guava
This the pineapple guava tree is one another types of evergreen trees, with beautiful bluish green leaves that are silvery white underneath them. Trees usually bloom in spring around May and are covered with small flowers that look like orchids that are pink and crimson. The delicate light colored pink petals are a delicious treat and have a sweet flavor and texture that melts in your mouth like cotton candy, so I hear I haven’t tried it myself yet, If I have the chance I wouldn’t mind trying it, I love cotton candy! These are the basics for growing these types of fruit trees; A slow release, balanced fertilizer with micronutrients is best for this tree to help produce tasty fruit, find one that is high quality 10-10-10 with micronutrients. This should contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as well as iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, copper and boron the important vitamins needed. Use approximately 1/2 cup of fertilizer per application for each year of a pineapple guava’s age, if its 2 year old you should use 1 cup of this fertilizer. Make sure spread the fertilizer evenly over the Guava tree root zone and soak it with water to get the vitamins down to the roots. Fertilize 3 times each year in February, May and July, avoiding a 2 inch radius around the trunk.
Guavas can be a very lush tree and doesn’t mind some heavy pruning or shaping, it can be such a lush tree that it is sometimes used as hedges or screens. Since the fruit is produced from new growth, pruning this tree does not interfere with next year’s crop. Guava trees and pineapple guava tree actually thrive in both humid and dry climates, but can survive only a few degrees of frost.
Newly grown trees are sensitive to cold weather. Older trees, killed to the ground, have sent up new shoots which fruited 2 years later so dont completely give up if it dies down. Guavas can take quite a bit of neglect, temporary water logging and very hot temperatures. They usually bear fruit better in areas with a cooler season. Assisted overhead protection and planting on south side of a building or structure will often provide frost protection for guavas in cooler areas. A little extra effort will be needed for colder areas by covering the tree with fabric or electric warming lights can be used for added warmth. Potted plants can be moved to a more protected site if necessary.
