Growing Tips

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil for the best yields. Water regularly during the first year to establish strong roots, then moderately once mature. Fertilize during the growing season with an organic fruit tree blend. Guavas are drought-tolerant once established but produce better with consistent moisture during flowering and fruiting. In USDA Zones 9–11, plant in-ground; in cooler zones, grow in a large container and protect from frost. Prune after harvest to maintain shape and airflow.
