Guava Black Fruit Plant

About Guava Black

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a tropical tree producing sweet fruit eaten fresh or used in drinks, smoothies, and desserts. The tree is highly attractive, with mildly fragrant leaves and white, 1-inch flowers. Fruits are about 5 inches in diameter - oval, round, or pear-shaped - with white, pink, or yellow flesh and a rich, pungent aroma when ripe. This is the Black variety.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun for best flowering and fruit production.
• Soil: Any soil with good drainage.
• Climate: Warm tropical climate.

Planting & Spacing

Grows to about 12 feet in the ground in tropical regions; stays smaller in a container.

Care

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

Fruiting & Harvest

Guava Black typically starts fruiting in 1-2 years. Taste ranges from sour to sweet depending on ripeness and variety; harvest once fruit is fragrant and gives slightly to pressure.
