Cindy starts with ... Has anyone planted Guavas as a hedge? At the nursery today they had a strawberry guava and a pineapple guava and both swing tags said they could be used as a hedge. I'm wondering how hight they grow and how closely togethor I would need to plant them? What is the difference in taste and tolerance to wind Thanks!!! | About the Author Cin Central Coast NSW 29th September 2007 4:37pm #UserID: 322 Posts: 20 View All Cin's Edible Fruit Trees |
Leona says... Yes!!! I have yellow strawberry guavas and also the regular red strawberry guavas as hedges along two of my fences. I planted one metre apart. They will grow around 2-3 metres tall (maybe a bit taller)...they are not a dense hedge though...if you want a dense, screening hedge, you would be better of going with Feijoa. Both tolerate wind well and both taste nice. Feijoa is better quality fruit if you get a named variety. Strawberry guavas are smaller fruit and they taste a little tart (the yellow variety are sweeter) and they are yummy. I prefer these over the Feijoas. Depending on your requirements, lilly pillys are another great fruiting hedge alternatuve, as are some of the citrus. | About the Author Leona Perth 30th September 2007 9:52pm #UserID: 315 Posts: 42 View All Leona's Edible Fruit Trees |
