Pink guavas are a delicious tropical fruit. They can be eaten fresh and used to make juice, jams, deserts, or pastries. Guavas are a good tree to grow from seed because a healthy seed grown tree produces fruit in 2-4 years. The fruit from seed-grown trees are also of good quality. Both of our guava trees are grown from seed. The fruit range in size form 2 to 4 inches long. Our trees have flowers or fruit pretty much all year long. However, in Florida they have two main seasons with one being in the summer and another in the winter. The fruit tend to be smaller when the tree is growing many fruits at a time. To get larger fruit you can remove some of the fruit when they are small.

Guava trees can reach up to 40 feet tall, but they can be kept pruned to a small tree or bush. They will fruit while still small so this is a good fruit tree for container gardens. The fruit can be eaten while green, however, we only eat them when they are ripe. You can harvest your guavas when the fruit easily falls of the tree and are light green. At peak ripeness the fruit should be very fragrant and have a yellow-green color.

A young guava tree cannot tolerate frost, but a mature tree might be able to tolerate a mild cold snap with minimal damage. Guavas are also easily infested with fruit flies. If you find fruit flies in your guavas you first need to remove any fallen fruit from the ground. Then you need to put bags over the fruit to prevent the flies from laying eggs. The ripe fruits are visible through the bag and sometimes they even fall off the tree and into the bag. At first this seemed like a lot of work for us but it is totally worth it! We get delicious tree-ripened guavas right from our garden!

We mainly use our guavas to make guava juice! It can be made by cutting the fruit up into chunks, blending it with water, then straining the juice to remove the seeds.

We avoid using fertilizers or sprays of any kind. The seeds are tested for germination in order to ensure quality. Then, they are placed into a recyclable paper seed packet (to learn how to open the packets you can watch the example video in the about section of our Etsy shop). Lastly, we try to limit waste in your order’s shipping package by reusing or choosing sustainable materials.
