Guava - Mexican Cream

When fruit are just starting to develop, protect them from fatal insects by tying a clear plastic bag around individual fruit and letting the fruit grow and mature with the bag still around it. You will be pleasantly surprised by the size and flavour. | Sabrina Kleiman - Highvale, QLD 12-Mar-2007

Planted (in Melbourne) in a sheltered north facing part of the garden - some shade from street trees - I don't think I gave it enough water last summer - will do better this year!

Edward3's Edible Fruits
Update: 239 days 6hrs

Comments: - Very good soft sweet taste, sweeter than Hawaiian pink. Good crop. However, too much trouble with fruit fly, bush rats and fruit bats, so have removed tree to make room for others.

Pest Control: Tried using vegemite solution in soft drink bottle to trap fruit flies but not completely effective. One spray with lebaycid worked very well but this chemical no longer used. Fine netting works well but does not stop bush rats.

How well is your doing in Pot? My died last yr and i got new one today from a friend.

Edward3 says... [1906 days 21hrs ago]

Initially I had it in a pot and the top half died. So I put it in the ground and it recovered, and that's when I got 1 fruit. It seems to be very happy now and is growing well.

May 2018, growing nicely and vigorously in a pot. More than doubled its size in 6 months.

Fruitylicious1 says... [235 days 0hrs ago]

14 Dec 2019 - starting to show plenty of flower buds here in Melbourne. I hope there will be enough time and heat for the fruits to ripen until the first frost next year.
