Here in the Philippines,we have plenty of guavas,it grows everywhere,birds plucked them & drop in different places & grew by itself.we cook them into jelly,eat them as is,add them into our menu.Guava taste so good !!!

Great fruit. Planted one about 8+ yrs ago. No longer have, but do have it's cousin, the Strawberry Guava. The Strawberry was actually better tasting that I suspected. But really liked the lemon. Neither will get as tall as a Ficus, though, and can take a bit of a beating in the full sun heat & won't fruit quite as well or taste as well as it does in the early spring or late fall. It does look a lot like a smaller ficus, which can freeze at ~28 degrees & below

I bought a lemon guava from the Lowe's on Bell late last summer and couldn't wait to try the fruit. Well the fruit came and it was disgusting. It tasted like bitter tomatoes. Nobody in my family could stand the flavor. I was ready to completely write off all lemon guava until I saw this video. I spoke to a very enthusiastic young man at Summer Winds nursery who recommended you and your channel. So glad I was able to see the error of my ways. I'll be making a trip out to your nursery very soon!

I ate a few last week from my Lowes guava and it was absolutely delicious! You have to be patient and east them ripen.

The yellows have a great flavour, even quite good when underripe, the red however is tastier than the yellow when fully fully ripe but quite horrible when underripe. In Northern Aotearoa they grow almost wild and with a good rainfall/when they grow near a water source the fruits can become the size of a small plum

Your so right! This is a great fruit and delicious. I grow both and its easy to maintain for a new gardener. Thanks for sharing.

Put in a Strawberry Guava last year. She's doing great. Excited for first fruits!

I have strawberry guava trees. Grows like crazy. I got fruit from it the first year and every year since. And man it tastes awesome

I grew 2 of the large leaf variety from seed.. Mine couldn't take the heat when it got above 115 degrees and eventually died. I have one in the shade, it still doesn't like extreme heat. It's about 4 years old and still only 4 feet. I have to agree though, the fruit is delicious, much better than tropical guavas IMO

How long do you need to wait for you tree to fruit?

Ok thanks for sharing!! I love guavas I have a pineapple guava it have not fruited yet

The best jam I have ever had was homemade Lilikoi jam! It tasted like the most amazing Hawaiian sunrise.

My strawberry guava tree fruited mostly astringent fruit when it was young but after it got bigger, fruit is a lot better.

We want Mango Updates...MOAR!!!! :)

Out of my 8 guavas trees I got , the lemon guava is the most productive and my favorite one. The strawberry guava is OK but less productive.

In Australia it’s called yellow cherry guava. When I lived in semi-arid.Australia it was prolific (and great tasting). Now living in subtropical place and some animal eats all the fruit while it is green:(

I love guava. Back in Philippines we have 10 guava trees from the small fruits to bigger one the called apple guava. The small one is having distinct scent to them mostly when fully ripe. Guava jelly is delicious.

Have one in Vegas but was scared the sun would kill it, so i put it in shade and it is a very slow grower

I love mine and so do the birds and squirrels.

Got my first one in perth western Australia they taste great and take our crazy weather

Yep these 2 are the best but 1 more should included, the pine apple guava

Any suggestions where I can get either the lemon or strawberry I’m in Northern California

How large do the lemon guava trees grow?

Do you have any yellows available at your nursery in a 15 gallon? I’m definitely interested! Awesome alternative to the ficus nitida. If so where is the nursery located in the valley?

Are they zone 7A hardy I have pink guava and a white guava in container

I'm also in Phoenix. Where is your nursery located?

Looking to plant this

Also, is it too late to be planting trees in the ground right now in AZ? It's starting to reach 100 in the afternoon, wondering if it's too hot.

Where is your nursery, I live in az and would like to buy a few of these

Is the root system aggressive with this plant? IOW, would you plant close to a foundation? Thanks!

My small cattley guava is not staked, will it grow better staked?

When I was a student, one of my friends lived in a “student house” that was rented by a heap of students, along one side of the large yards, someone in the past had planted a hedge of Guava trees of various types, the variety of the fruit was intriguing and tasty. There was always fruit to be found somewhere in the hedge. The fruit fly didn’t seem attracted. The fruit was good on its own, good chilled with icrecream, good bottled and great stewed with Port or French Brandy!

I have a few variety of guavas, still looking for lemon guava. Strawberry guava is easy to find. My rose scented guava isn't fruiting yet

What zone ie can it go down to 5 degrees and up to 105F.

Will it grow in Flagstaff?

Do you have june plumbs and or Spanish plumb?

Hey I'm in Arizona too. Are you selling these? Online or store address?

I have strawberry guava. Have you tried the Apple guava (Guapple)! it’s amazing because there are no seeds whatsoever.

Where do I purchase?

I would like to buy this tree, where is your nursery?

Do you ship to California?

Note there are guavas wich can thrive in colder zones, the Brazilian Pineapple guava can make it up to zone 7b, the Chilenean Guava can stand even colder climates and had been thriving for instance in Great Britain for almost 100 years now!

The flavor is more like a guava mix with a cherry and the scent and taste of a rose

planted a pink guava last week :) to go with my pineapple guava ... and yes they are delicious !! I recommend to everyone !

What they say to do for fruit trees and berry plants is to use any product with spinosad. Spinosad is organic. In fact, it was found accidentally in rum barrels. One name brand product called Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew is what I use.

Is this just a hedge tree, or can it also provide excellent shade like a ficus?

Figs are ficus trees

Lowe’s literally sells these exact varieties every spring. To be honest they’re not that great and the fruit is nothing special. They absolutely cannot take full sun. Most people do not baby their plants the way you do so they will have a widely different experience than you. Lemon and strawberry guavas are really an afterthought fruit. They’re unremarkable. I understand you have a business and are trying to make profits but come on. Stop trying to oversell.

Jay has sourced several trees from Lowes, you can get some great ones and some horrible ones. Its worth the chance IMO,

I listened/watched 1 minute and 10 seconds of this. Cattley guava will NOT work 10 times better than a fig! What turnip truck did you fall off of. I have both lemon and strawberry guava producing as well as several fig varieties...First off, Cattley guava does NOT have near the cold hardiness of fig trees--maybe 20-25 F. Second, Cattley guavas are not nearly as sweet as figs are, nor as productive. I like Cattley guava, but it a little marginal to grow in my zone. Figs are MUCH hardier. Goodbye.
