Guavas are evergreen, shallow-rooted shrubs or small trees that can reach up to 20 ft, characterized by their spreading branches. In California, their growth typically ranges between 10 to 15 feet. The bark is smooth, displaying a mottled green or reddish-brown appearance, and peels off in thin flakes, revealing an attractive “bony” aspect to its trunk. The plant branches close to the ground and often produces suckers from roots near the base of the trunk. Young twigs are quadrangular and downy. These Tropical Fruit Trees are not only beautiful but also a rewarding addition to your garden.

Guavas are primarily self-fruitful, although some strains may yield more fruit when cross-pollinated with another variety. These Ruby Supreme Guava trees can bloom throughout the year in mild-winter areas, with the most abundant bloom occurring with the arrival of warm weather in the spring. The timing can vary slightly from year to year, influenced by the weather conditions.

Upon ripening, the fruit softens and becomes juicy. It can be enjoyed fresh, transformed into a refreshing juice or nectar containing fruit pulp, or crafted into preserves, jam, jelly, or paste. The fruit’s distinctive, savory-fresh aroma remains thermostable, ensuring it survives processing. The Guava Tree is an excellent source of vitamins C and A, offering both delicious flavor and nutritional benefits.
