I love guava but don't live in the right zone. I saw this plant reviewed by Melbourne Foodforest on YouTube and decided to give it a go. So far so good.

Perfect hedging for wind breaks or privacy and the fruit is edible if the plant. Make great jams and chutney/relish.

WENTWORTH FALLS, NSW, Australia

Guava - Strawberry

A great companion for citrus. This is not a fruit Ive tried but I like growing fruit that are considered a little bit different. Due to my colder climate I will grow this in a pot for a few years before transferring to a warmer part of the garden. Looking forward to trying this one.

LESCHENAULT, WA, Australia

Some selections seem to be way too fruitful and set so much fruit that they will literally kill themselves. So fiddly to thin them. The Yellow variety seems to be mroe prone to this? I prefer the red one in our cooler climate, but prefered the yellow i...

Planted 8 trees along a fence line for a fruiting hedge. They receive no more than 50% sun, and after 3 years most are producing bunches of fruit with so little sun. Have made home made ice cream with them. Delicious.

easy to grow,good taste of fruit

HILLARYS, WA, Australia

Fruits readily but they are quite small.  Flavour is good in colder seasons but rather bland in hot weather.  Trees are easy to grow and carefree.  I still prefer the normal guavas.

Burnside, VIC, Australia

We have a small strip of dirt on the side of our driveway. Instead of growing flowers or oriental plants, I decided that we would put something edible in it. I planted a row of 4 Guava plants last year. I didn't really give the plants much attention. J...

Minimum of care and prolific plant

West Leederville, WA, Australia

Four little plants from Bunnings, planted quite close together (just over 1m apart as I'm hoping to create a dense hedge) in 2010. I've loaded them with compost and some blood & bone. Hopefully the soil improvements will be enough - but the soil is ver...

Great bush, and really takes well to Warners Bay on Lake Macquarie near Newcastle. Kids love the fruit, and it fruits very well

Planted in pots in full sun. Nice little shrub, fairly drought hardy but needs daily watering when hot because the pots are relatively small.

Armidale, NSW, Australia

Guava - Strawberry

Great little tree/shrub. Tolerates a wide variety of soils and climes. However, beware especially of fruit fly which is a fatal nuisance. Potash in late Winter increases flowering and fruiting. Makes a great jam/wine. Prune late Autumn.
