Forum: Guava Seedling - Years To Fruit?

Guava Seedling - years to fruit?

3 responses

PAVEL starts with ... Hi all! A question for the veteran guava growers here. I am considering whether to buy a guava seedling (versus a cutting). Does anyone have a guava grown from seedling and knows how long it took to reach fruit bearing age? I am worried because my research on the internet seems to indicate anywhere from five to eight years. I just want to set my expectations. Thanks in advance for any and all guava advice:) PS: Which is better, the pink or white guavas? Which is your favourite?

jakfruit etiquette says... Five to eight years seems about right, you could shorten that by growing it fast and pushing it to full size, keep the seedling active in winter. They should be faster in warmer climates.	About the Author jakfruit etiquette gotham city,3000,Vic 29th November 2020 1:17pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees
