Thai Guavas Tropical Fruit Trees – Apple Green Skin – Mildly Sweet – Fast Growing Fruit Tree

Grow Your Own Delicious Tropical Guavas

Bring the taste of the tropics to your backyard with our premium Tropical Guava Trees. These exceptional fruit trees are a fantastic addition to any tropical or subtropical garden, prized for their distinctive flavor and texture. The fruit typically reaches the size of a softball, boasting a unique apple-green skin that can range from smooth to subtly bumpy. Inside, you’ll discover crisp, white flesh with pale yellow seeds, offering a drier consistency than pink guava varieties. Known for their mildly sweet taste and subtle fragrance, the crunchy flesh and edible seeds make for a versatile fruit, perfect for fresh snacks or delightful desserts.

The firm, white flesh of these guavas delivers a pleasant flavor profile, high Total Soluble Solids (TSS), and a generous boost of vitamin C. The texture is truly unique; the flesh surrounding the seeds is smooth and creamy, while the outer flesh presents a slightly grainy consistency, akin to a pear. The flavor is a harmonious blend of sweet and sour, rounded out by a faint, musky aroma. Cultivating your own guava fruit tree ensures you can savor this remarkable fruit at its freshest, straight from the branch.

Guava trees are attractive evergreen shrubs or small trees, capable of reaching up to 20 feet in height, though they typically stay within 10-15 feet in California. They feature graceful, spreading branches and smooth, mottled green or reddish-brown bark that peels in thin flakes, revealing an appealing bony trunk. These trees branch low to the ground and often produce suckers from roots near the base. Young twigs are quadrangular and downy. Their year-round green foliage and interesting bark make them a beautiful and productive addition to any landscape.

Guavas are primarily self-fruitful, though some strains may yield more fruit when cross-pollinated. They can bloom throughout the year in mild-winter regions, with the heaviest bloom occurring with the onset of warm spring weather. The ripening fruit becomes soft and juicy, ideal for eating fresh, making into juices, nectars, preserves, jams, jellies, or pastes. The distinct, savory-fresh aroma of the fruit is thermostable, preserving its essence even after processing. This fast-growing fruit tree is an excellent choice for any home orchard.
