My Edibles: South American Trees ACT

Guava Yellow Cherry (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Used to eat the red kind when I was little. Has grown very quickly and started fruiting almost immediately, although I've been removing the fruit and buds to encourage it to grow more (I hope this is the right thing to do to a guava). Next year I'll eat them all.
