1 Live Plant Peruvian White Guava Tree Psidium guajava Tropical Fruit Tree
Peruvian White Guava is a tropical fruit tree prized for its pale, creamy-white flesh and sweet, aromatic flavor. This variety produces round to oval fruit with thin green skin that ripens to a light yellow-green. The tree grows vigorously in warm climates and adapts well to container culture, making it a rewarding choice for home orchards and patio growers. Its lush evergreen foliage and attractive bark add ornamental value to any sunny landscape or indoor collection.
The fruit is enjoyed fresh, juiced, or used in jams, preserves, and desserts, offering a delicate sweetness with subtle floral notes. Peruvian White Guava performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, and container-grown trees can be moved indoors during cooler months in temperate regions. Regular pruning helps maintain shape and encourages productive branching. With proper warmth and moisture, trees establish quickly and can begin fruiting within a few seasons.
