Guava (Pink Flesh) - Lalitha Variety

About Guava (Pink Flesh) - Lalitha Variety

The Lalitha variety of guava is prized for its sweet, subtly fragrant pink flesh with fewer seeds and less of the strong musky smell of regular green guava — a favourite for fresh eating.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun for the best flowering and fruit set.
• Soil: Any well-drained soil; adaptable to a range of soil types.
• Climate: Tropical and subtropical regions; widely grown across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh in India.

Planting & Spacing

Compact enough for a large pot on a balcony or terrace; give more room if planting in the ground.

Care

• Watering: Water when the topsoil feels dry to the touch; avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once every 2-3 months during the growing season.
• Pruning: Light pruning after harvest to maintain shape and encourage new fruiting shoots.

Fruiting & Harvest

This variety typically begins fruiting 1.5-2 years after planting. Skin turns a paler green-yellow and yields slightly to gentle pressure when ripe.

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.
