Guava - sweet, fragrant, tropical

 The Guava Tree is a sweet, fragrant tropical fruit which ranges in size from a small egg size to that of a medium apple. To eat raw, guavas should be very ripe - when they are sweet, creamy and delicious.

They make excellent jams, preserves and sauces, too. Guava trees are very attractive with blotchy patched bark in greens, browns and creams. They have pretty fluffy flowers typical of their family, the Myrtles, and are ornamental whether in fruit or flower. Some varieties have burgundy foliage.
Guavas are ideal for use as fruiting hedges, landscaping trees, and as ornamental potted specimen trees where they will be happy to produce masses of fruit. The strawberry guava is more suited to smaller gardens because of its compact growing habit. Guava trees need protection from fruit flies and birds #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #guava #backyardgarden
