But be aware Guava grows very, very slowly when young before hitting a growth spurt. It can take four to eight years before a plant sprouted from seed will reach fruiting maturity—if it sets fruit at all
The guava fruit is round to pear-shaped and can grow between 2-4 inches long. When ripe, the rind softens and is edible. The inner flesh is ruby in color and has a soft, pulpy texture. The fruit has a sweet flavor and a pleasant aroma.
All varieties, including the species, generally produce more and better quality fruit if a second variety is planted nearby. If a pineapple guava flowers in spring but there are no fruits, then it's a good idea to plant another cultivar/variety nearby or try hand pollination, explained below.. . . . .364011235553!]0000000000000009783314146577!]
