Guava - Starlings White

A firm guava with crisp, clean white flesh that if not cross pollinated will produce fruit with less seeds that can be eaten fresh out of hand like an apple. Cross pollinated fruit will produce extremely small central cavities dotted sparsely with seeds. Fruits are large and heart shaped, green skinned and highly aromatic. Superior flavour to that of Thai varieties. A must have for those who tend to avoid guavas owing to high seed content.

Weed warning: The strawberry guava is a hardy small tree that prolifically bears small dark red guavas that self seed readily and are highly desired by birds and humans. They are hardy in full sun and will also grow quickly under the full canopy of a rainforest. They can be difficult to remove once established. Best grown under netting or covered with a mosquito net when in fruit. Some of the other guava species can also be found self seeded on the roadside/fencelines etc. and are become a concern in Nth NSW / Sth Qld coastal regions.
