SproutMeKate1 says... hi Ganjing, we've just been through a brutal September with low 40 temps and my pink supreme guava did ok with regular watering. it was a very hot dry heat with high winds, and the main problem was leaf damage and leaves blowing off - but it's putting out new growth now. we had a couple of light frosts over winter which didn't seem to bother the tree too much, and it didn't affect its fruiting. your winter lows would be a bit colder though. there is an orchard down in Gatton which has 20 year old feijoa trees. they get some nasty frosts over winter and high summer temps, so the feijoas and guavas seem to be fairly hardy within the context of our SEQ weather extremes. I suppose it comes down to mitigation of extremes particularly while the tree is young. shade tubes help to protect young trees from the worst of summer burning, diffuse the impact of wind, and help create a micro-climate that reduces frost damage. maybe keep the guava in a large pot for a couple of years until it's more established, and then plant out in the garden.
