Guava
$55.00
Guava is a small tree with a multi-stemmed trunk. It has mottled green bark and long, 3- to 7-inch serrated leaves that sit atop a wide, short canopy. The white flowers produce oval or pear-shaped fruits 2 to 5 inches in size. The taste and colour of the fruit differ based on the variety.
Guava plants are native to the tropical and subtropical Americas and will do best in conditions that mimic those regions. They like moderately warm, humid conditions and react badly to any hint of cold or to desert-like heat. Potted plants can grow well on a warm patio or deck during the warmer months, then moved indoors for the winter.
Getting indoor guava plants to flower and produce fruit is a hit-or-miss proposition, so the plants are generally grown as novelty specimens.
