Db starts with ... Has anyone tasted China Pear guava from Daleys? I would like to know how does it's taste compare with other guavas like Mexican cream or Hawaiian guava from Daleys.. Daleys describe it as 'with exceptional flavour'. Recently I bought China pear guava tree from Daleys and within 2 months it is already outgrowing its big pot and roots are coming out of pot holes.. I was thinking to transfer it in ground if taste is better than Mexican cream and Hawaiian guava which I'm already growing in ground. But if it tastes similar, I'll keep it in pot and can plant something else in that place.. Anyone? | About the Author Db Brisbane 18th December 2012 7:47pm #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Db I have a few few guavas and have always been familiar with hong kong and hawaiin pinks.To answer a question in another thread cherry guavas can reach about 8m in the tropics if kept in good conditions but are usually much smaller.Ferals on the Atherton Tablelands can be less than 1m when many years old.In cooler places they are much smaller and can easily be pruned to 1.5m. Back to tropicals.I bought a pink china pear several years ago and it has smaller fruit than hawaiin,with a stronger smell and has softer seeds.I rate mexican cream ahead of the pinks but thye giant thai behind when eaten ripe.I have a pineapple brazilian that is way better than all the rest.Recently I acquired a yellow fleshed argentinian and I am assured is the next level up. The moral of my story is thatI don't know which is the real china pear. | About the Author Cairns 18th December 2012 8:39pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT1 says... VF my Mexican Cream is taking forever to ripen and some were eaten by ? so have yet to try a properly ripe one. Still I think they would be sweeter than the China Pear from the taste of the green ones. The Hawaiians fell off while small though there are still a couple left on the tree. I am not holding my breath as winter has truly set in. These are my first fruits so am hoping they will perform better next year. | About the Author MaryT1 Sydney 30th June 2014 7:36am #UserID: 7655 Posts: 296 View All MaryT1's Edible Fruit Trees |

TMary says... Db at last one Hawaiian made it to maturity and I am giving it 10/10!! Everything I expected a guava to be - fragrant (perfumed the whole room), sweet and juicy with just a hint of sour. I LOVE it and unless my China Pear and Mexican Cream improve significantly next year the Hawaiian is the best of them all. This tree suffered a set back and nearly died so it's much smaller than the others. Goes to show good things come in small packages:)

Markmelb says... Heres a recent pick of my first Mexican Cream - seeds were still hard as a rock - not soft as said - but very tasty and creamy with strong guava smell - here are 2 pics of Mexican cut and Mexican next to a bulbouse Indian which could be a china pear??? Not tasted latter yet but last year the indian was tasty - no smell and softer seeds than Mexican or cherry guavas.I hate those hard seeds.
