How to Care for common guava in Winter?

Guava thrives in tropical climates, naturally resistant to mild frosts. Its leaves toughen in response to cooler conditions, but it's not suited to harsh winters. For gardeners in temperate zones, over-winter care requires moving guava indoors or providing generous mulching and frost covers to safeguard against plunging temperatures.
