I love this fruit! It can be eaten straight from the tree, and also used for cooking. I got this plant from my dad, it's growing so good, summer and spring really allowed it to burst with new growth. I'm hoping to get my first crop in as early as 2 years. Can't wait!

EDIT 2014 Going great, pushed through being shaded a bit from feijoa and almond, looking fine

Not doing brilliantly yet, but was dug out by neighbour and given to me, and a fair bit of root trauma. See how it goes.

UPDATE : Has pushed some new buds. Need to mulch it up and make it a little more comfy

Guava - China Pear (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: - Doesn't like too many hours of full Australian sun. Mine receives ~2-3 hours of full sun and then shade for the rest of the day. It has been getting sunburnt. Also, I've noticed that the cabbage caterpillar has been demolishing the leaves (50% of leaves gone in a few days).

Dec 30,2018 - Lost all if it's leaves here in Melbourne during winter 2018. Pruned during early spring and applied sudden impact by Neutrog. Growing vigorously atm 😎

14 Dec 2019 - currently showing plenty of flower buds atm. Hopefully there will be enough time and heat from now until the first frost next year here in Melbourne 😎

Guava - Mexican Cream ^8/10

Comments: - Very good soft sweet taste, sweeter than Hawaiian pink. Good crop. However, too much trouble with fruit fly, bush rats and fruit bats, so have removed tree to make room for others.

Fruiting Months March and April

Planted: 2014

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year

First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Autumn

Pollination: Self Pollination

Pest Control: Tried using vegemite solution in soft drink bottle to trap fruit flies but not completely effective. One spray with lebaycid worked very well but this chemical no longer used. Fine netting works well but does not stop bush rats.

How well is your doing in Pot? My died last yr and i got new one today from a friend.

Initially I had it in a pot and the top half died. So I put it in the ground and it recovered, and that's when I got 1 fruit. It seems to be very happy now and is growing well.
