100 Seeds Guava Tree Psidium guajava Tropical Fruit Tree

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a small tropical fruit tree prized for its fragrant, sweet fruit with creamy flesh and a flavor reminiscent of strawberry, pear, and citrus. Easy to grow and highly productive in warm climates, it makes an attractive ornamental landscape tree with glossy leaves and also performs well in large containers, making it a rewarding choice for home gardeners and fruit enthusiasts.

Guava fruit is enjoyed fresh, blended into juices and smoothies, cooked into jams, jellies, and pastes, or used in desserts and savory dishes. Trees begin bearing fruit within a few years and can produce heavy crops across a long season. The wood and foliage add a lush tropical look, while the plants grow vigorously in full sun and adapt to a range of well-drained soils. Provide warmth, regular water, and protection from frost for best results.
