you need to attend better "universities", Mr! haaaaa.... want an "expert", just go find someone who actually is growing fruit trees in your area. The older the better, kids! :-)
Love that you interact AFTER 8 YEARS posted. I have a 24 foot white Arabian guava and a 22 foot pink ruby guava in my front yard
That's a huge guava (the Mexican variety) wow... I've just planted two Indian guavas (they are a medium sized variety) and I also have 4 x cherry varieties yellow and strawberry. They certainly are a wonderful backyard fruit! Very interesting varieties you are growing - top video! Cheers :)

tolga erok Ok thanks for the info because mine haven't fruited (obviously) but I'm hoping our fruit ripens in autumn like our cherry guavas because they don't get stung by fruit fly. The only organic way to stop them is netting. Thankfully, fruit fly netting has come down in price considerably over the past few years and you can buy it in bulk on eBay.

Indian variety is very hard to grow in Melbourne, in winter it dies.
not only very informative but also encouraging. I just feel to go out and get a pot and start planting!
This video helped me identify the guava tree I have in my yard. The Mexican White Guava. Thank you for the wonderful information!
Your you tube Channel is very inspirational for me to start my own garden with fruits trees, thanks you sir. Can you do whole garden video tour for us and see your beautiful garden ?
Thank you for making this very informative video! I hope to be able to grow guavas in my garden some day.
OMG, my mouth is watering!!! looks so tasty
Omg😯... Soooooooooo many guavas.... Woooooowwwwwww you r amazing... I think you have all plants in your garden(fruits and vegetables)
Guavas are my favorite fruit. I like the Mexican white type. I enjoy plucking from my parents garden. Loved watching your videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Perfect review, I have the large white variety and the pink one too. Now I need to look around for the Arabian variety.

Those are some beautiful looking gauwahs !
I live in Florida zone 9-10 and have a strawberry guava tree that now is 7ft. tall and has produced many flowers and guava in various years. I have a problem with squirrels getting them before I do!! Same with the avacado 's. I love the taste of the strawberry guava.I have heard that the pink fruited variety is the sweetest! TY for the advice on pruning!
Thank you for the info on guava...trying to decide which to plant!
Love your videos. been thinking about growing guavas for years.
Thanks for the tips I have the Ruby one in my yard🌴
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I just ordered a tropical pink and am excited to learn about others.
Wow ! What a beautiful guava trees! I planted white guava more than 7 years ago never had fruit or flower😳
Good presentation.keep it up.I too grow gvaua with out any strain and stress to the plant and self..
I love your videos I’m in Texas and I love guava so I purchased one can’t wait to see the fruits of my labor. thanks for letting me know to bring it in doing the winter ., how to fertilize it.
Guavas are more cold tolerant than you realize. For example, in Nevada and Arizona, which basically have desert climates, the Guava can grow. However, during the winter time, especially in Southern Nevada, care must be taken for the first year to protect the roots of the plant. After that, the guava tree will die back during the cold but usually comes up stronger the next year. This has been my experience.

What could causes a guava tree to dry up and die within just a few days? ... i have a very nice medium guava tree about 45-40 years old that have been producing a lot of fuits in past years... but just this past week, all the leaves on the tree dries up, and when i pruned the thick branches (about 3-4 inches in diameter) that were especially dry looking, the wooden braches are very dry as it it has been dried and dead for a month?
I have a guava tree but they don't tolerate the weather well. The frost kills many trees, so they have to be protected. They always loose their leaves during the winter unless its brought it. I just put ours in the ground this year after babying it for a few years. Thanks for the video! Im envious of your guava trees!
why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? Great video thank you!

The first guava I bought never produced fruit and after 3 years, froze one winter. The one I have now produces a few fruit, but so small that the first year they dried up because I did not know they were ripe and left them on the tree. Second year I harvested them. In Bakersfield, it likes partial shade. Thanks for the video.
I’m Montagnard indigenous , I like guava fruit also I like to eat when it green dip with pepper sauce it’s yummy.
Your guava look very beautiful and produce many fruit , thanks for sharing to us such amazing plant in the home garden, interesting video .

Great job dude. I still have yet to see your drip irrigation vid. Cool one.

We got 5 kinds of guayaba here in LA ca. The red, yellow, purple and two more. Most of the time weigth almost 1 kilo we havent them in big pots. They are Real taste. Thanks
Lucky for you being in California where you can grow these delicious tropical fruit. I am in NJ -zone 6b, and very interested in growing guavas. I have two ruby red guavas growing nicely in containers and are about a foot tall. I am wondering how to take care of them during the cold NJ winter months. A question I have is whether these guavas will drop all their leaves in fall, and can they survive if kept at 50-55 degrees during winter. I plan to move them to a dimly lit walk-in basement where the temp stays around this level through the winter. If they drop all their leaves for the winter they would not need any light, but I am hoping they would other wise survive the 50-55 degree temp. Thank you for any other tips and suggestions.
lovely guava trees you have :)
I love guavas esp the pink variety which is available in India. It's sweet and fragrant.
Hello thank you for your video. Very thorough and easy to follow instructions. I have a guava tree that I’ve had for several years.It has never really produce much fruit to speak of. I don’t know what variety of tree this is. I would welcome any tips on how to get it to grow and start producing. When you talk about fertilizer, what do you suggest? What about mulching? I live in California 9b zone. How about watering? I trimmed a lot of twigs yesterday. Do you think this was smart to do? It is the only guava tree that I have so do you think I need another so they could cross pollinate? I would welcome any tips that you could give me. Thank you very much
Guavas from Pakistan specially from sindh province larkana division guavas are very very sweet during cold tempreture as now days in December all kinds big and small size but mostly sweet are little kinds
I tasted red guavas that was sweeter than the white Arabian you have. It was so soft the skin was orange and it was deep red inside. The seeds were hard but you can swallow them. It had very sweet flesh and a little tart and very aromatic.
Just for information that maybe you are so busy and do not have time to look it because you have to take care your garden ..the guava fruit is the only fruit has all the vitamins in one you need in your system...every day ..!! i grow up eating that fruit ...love it.....good video.

Hi, the guava plant you have is fantastic, Id like to have it also into my back yard. do you share some seeds. I have two plants but the fruits is very small. I'm here in Manila Philippines and our climate is good for guava. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I love your channel!!!!😊
Great video. I have a pineapple guava tree and having some issues. Some of the leaf tips are turning brown. Do you know why this would happen?
because i wanted to make my own guava plants to sell but also for me i love them
Hi thanks for the tips. I live in the Bahamas an i have a guava tree that i love. It looks like a ruby red but i don't think it is. It is a large tree (20 +feet) ,it has medium to large fruit moderately firm pulp with a small, well defined cluster of seed at its center. Excellent balance of tart and sweet. Fruit production has slowed ii recent years, I guess that is because I have never fertilized it

Hi, I live in City of Tracy Ca, I can't find one of those Guava trees that you posed, do you sale fruit trees? I want the ruby red and white Arabian,
I bought some guava from Costco a week ago and from your description, I think it’s the white Arabian guava. It’s sweet but has a hint of tang but full of flavor. I was hesitant to buy because I’ve tried guava in the past and they were bland. I plan on saving some seeds and planting the. Hopefully they’ll produce great fruit just like the one it came from.

Hi Neeraj, I think the zone identify in TX is very general. Your County agriculture agent can give you more specific information. Get his email address, they are very good about answering questions. And then come back to this channel and find his videos because he is so informative that you can get enough information not only for container gardens but also garden in the dirt. I specifically like that he goes from planting to harvesting in a lot of his videos. He is a great teacher.

loquat, white sapote, jujube, Feijoa, mulberry, fig. all take light to medium frost and should be good for 8b. (the white sapote is the most sensitive) the rest can be grown in 8a or colder even. jujube can take temps into the teens, and is excellent tasting fruit. all of them are low maintenance (except maybe fig)
