Our Feedback
Hello, i visited your nursery earlier today, i have to tell you: i was seriously impressed, both with the friendly knowledgeable helpful Lady who was there serving me, and with the carload of plants i bought. I love my new cherry and apricot trees, my new blackberry bush and the amazing more than a tray load of olde worlde herbs i bought. I might not be able to visit often due to the 145 mile distance but i will certainly be back sometime. Thank You very Much. :)

Supplied as a pot-grown plant approximately 2 feet (60 cm) tall including pot.
Available from early May NEXT YEAR - 2023Also known as the Strawberry Guava, is native to the Caribbean and central and South America where it is sometimes classified as a weed! A lovely exotic tree it has a reddish/brown bark, large green leaves and scented white flowers which produces delicious pear-shaped red fruits.
These plants are very slow growing when they are young but then speed up as they grow older. Fruiting time varies from plant to plant and can be a few years or up to eight. The flowers are pollinated by insects.
The wood from the Guava tree is used in Hawaii for smoking meat but also makes good firewood or charcoal.
Guavas are a good source of Vitamin C and A.
