Waterwise Plant Details

Tropical Guava

Fast, growing, evergreen tree producing green or white skinned fruits with flesh that can be white, pink or red in colour. Distinctive perfumed fruit is rich in Vitamin C. White flesh types are treated like a vegetable when under-ripe in South East Asia. White flowers look like eucalyptus, to which they are related.

Self-fruitfing so only one tree is required for fruit production. Fruitfly control is needed.
