Just received my first order from you and despite them being delayed by the Easter holiday, the plants arrived in perfect condition. They were carefully packed and still damp enough. Very pleased, I will be ordering again. Thank you.

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.
