Guava Arka Kiran (Pink Flesh, Soft Seeds) Fruit Plant

About Guava Arka Kiran (Pink Flesh, Soft Seeds)

Guava "Arka Kiran" is an F1 hybrid developed by the IIHR (Indian Institute of Horticultural Research), Bengaluru. It's a pink-pulp variety with an average fruit weight of 200-220g and medium-soft seeds. A semi-vigorous, prolific, and precocious bearer, it yields medium-sized round fruits with deep red, firm pulp and high lycopene content.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun for best flowering and fruit production.
• Soil: Any well-drained soil.
• Climate: Warm tropical to subtropical.

Planting & Spacing

Can be grown in a large pot or planted directly in the ground; a container-grown tree stays smaller than one planted in open ground.

Care

• Watering: Moderate; keep soil moist but well-drained.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 2-3 months.
• Pruning: Light pruning to shape and encourage branching.

Fruiting & Harvest

Arka Kiran is notably fast-fruiting for a guava, typically starting to fruit within a year of purchase. Harvest once fruit is firm, fragrant, and fully coloured.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
