Guava - Thai White (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: -

Very Happy with the guava tree, Planted in 2018 started fruiting 2020, had few issues with fruit flies ( worms in fully ripen fruits) . Tried putting fine net bags around the fruits when they were young and voila didnt have the worm issue in those fruits..

 Has started fruiting again this year planning to buy a huge net bag to cover the tree and tie it( too many fruits to be putting individual bags)!

Fruiting Months January, February, March, December

Growing: In the Ground

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pest Control: fruit fly  ( fine net bags used)

Organic Status:Organic

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.

Height 1 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Fruit Harvest: 10 Fruit Per Year

First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

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.

Guava Hawaiian - Pink Supreme (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: - Does not tolerate full Australian sun well. It has been receiving ~4 hours daily and has been getting sunburnt. It was growing well until now because it was short enough that it was being shaded by other plants. It's now ~0.7m tall and the parts that aren't being shaded out are all being burnt. No pests so far.

I have three plants growing at the moment trained as espaliers. One is trained as an informal, the second one is simple horizontal and the last one is a variation of the simple horizontal. It's my way of expressing myself.
