How to Prune common guava?

Guava, known for its edible fruit and evergreen nature, benefits from regular pruning to enhance air circulation and fruit production. Perform major pruning in early spring to remove dead or diseased wood, and shape the tree. Light maintenance pruning can occur year-round to manage growth. Focus on thinning out crowded branches and promoting an open canopy. Proper pruning encourages healthier growth, improves yield, and minimizes pest issues.
