Guava

Strawberry and Tropic Pink

Strawberry guava is a compact and flavorful fruit tree that produces small, red or yellow fruit with a sweet and slightly tart taste. These fruits are edible and highly sought after for fresh consumption, jams, and desserts. Strawberry guava’s modest size, typically reaching 6-12 feet, makes it an excellent choice for food forests, providing both delectable fruit and an attractive appearance. They have a tendency to fruit throughout the year in subtropical and tropical climates, offering a continuous harvest. Cultivating strawberry guava requires well-drained soil, regular pruning to maintain a manageable size, and a warm, frost-free environment.

Tropic pink guava is a tropical fruit known for its sweet, aromatic pink flesh, commonly eaten fresh, juiced, or used in desserts and jams. The tree grows to about 10-15 feet tall with a dense, spreading habit, making it ideal for food forests as it provides fruit, shade, and attracts pollinators. For successful cultivation, plant in well-draining soil with full sun, water regularly but avoid waterlogging, and it thrives in warm, humid climates, with fruits typically harvested from late summer to early fall.
