common guava · Psidium guajava
Also known as: apple guava; guava; guyaba; tropical guava; yellow guava
Guava thrive in warm environments and require full sun exposure for optimal growth. Special care should focus on regular watering to keep the soil moist, but it's crucial to ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Pruning is needed to remove dead or crossed branches and to encourage a strong, productive tree structure.
