Pink Guava Tree - Live Plant in a 1 Gallon Pot - Psidium Guajava - Edible Fruit Bearing Tree

Physical Characteristics: The Pink Guava Tree typically reaches 10 to 15 feet in height when grown outdoors, forming a dense canopy with leathery, oval-shaped leaves. Its green-skinned fruit ripens to reveal a fragrant, coral-pink interior. Light Requirements: Pink Guava Trees grow best in full sun conditions, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Bright light promotes vigorous growth, healthy foliage, and increased fruit production, especially during the warmer growing seasons. Watering Needs: This tree prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. While young plants benefit from regular watering to establish strong roots, mature trees become more drought-tolerant. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root stress. Soil Preferences: Plant your Pink Guava in sandy loam or well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential, and the tree can adapt to a range of soil types if moisture is properly managed. Temperature Tolerance: Best suited for USDA Zones 911, this tropical species thrives in warm weather and should be protected from frost. In cooler climates, it can be grown in containers and moved indoors during winter.
