Container tips

The guava is a hardy tree that adapts to a wide range of growing conditions from the humid lowland tropics to the cooler elevations, fruiting at elevations up to 1,500 metres and surviving as high as 2,000 metres. It can stand a wide range of temperatures; the highest yields are recorded at mean temperatures of 23 - 28ยฐc, whilst in the subtropics quiescent trees can withstand light frost, and 3.5 - 6 months (depending on the cultivar) of mean temperatures above 16ยฐc are sufficient for flowering and fruiting.
