Grow Your Own Sweet Pink Guava
Imagine harvesting your own delicious, sweet pink guavas right from your backyard. With our Pink Guava Plant, this dream can become a reality. These tropical trees are known for their self-pollinating nature, meaning you can get fruit from just one plant. However, planting an additional tree can significantly increase your harvest size.
The Pink Guava Plant is a tropical delight, bringing the taste of the tropics to your home garden. Guava plants need a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Proper watering is key; allow the top two inches of soil to dry out between deep soakings to prevent root rot. Regular pruning will encourage a strong, healthy trunk and abundant fruit production. Fertilize every 1-2 months when young, and 3-4 times a year as the tree matures. Using a fertilizer with high levels of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash, and magnesium will yield the best results.
