The guava tree, scientifically known as Psidium guajava, is a tropical fruit tree that is native to the Americas but has been widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Guava trees are highly valued for their delicious fruit, which is not only eaten fresh but also used in a variety of culinary applications, including juices, jams, and desserts. The tree produces white, solitary flowers with numerous stamens and a sweet fragrance. Flowers are borne directly on the branches (cauliflory). The guava fruit can vary in size, shape, and color, typically 2-4 in. Dia, round to pear-shaped, and has a green to yellow skin when ripe. The flesh can be white, pink, or red, containing many small, hard seeds, and is known for its sweet, slightly tart flavor. Guava trees are suited to tropical and subtropical climates but can tolerate a range of temperature conditions. They need to be brought indoors at temperatures under 50° Fahrenheit. In summary, the guava tree is a valuable and versatile plant that offers not only delicious fruit but also potential health benefits and environmental contributions. With proper care, it can be a delightful addition to patios, porches and indoors.
