50 Strawberry Guava Tree Seeds (Psidium cattleianum) Edible Garden Fruit Plant

Description: 50 Strawberry Guava Seeds (Psidium cattleianum) Large Edible Fruit Plant Shrub Strawberry guava is a large shrub or small tree that is native to South America and loves a warm climate. There are some good reasons to choose strawberry guava plants over the common guava, including more attractive fruit and foliage, and a better tasting tropical fruit. Strawberry guava generally grows to heights between 6 and 14 feet (2-4.5 m.), although they can grow taller. As the name suggests, this tree usually produces red fruit, but yellow fruits are also possible. The fruit on the strawberry guava is similar to that of the common guava: a fragrant, juicy pulp with seeds. However, the flavor of this type of guava is said to have a strawberry essence and is considered to be less musky. It can be eaten fresh or used to make puree, juice, jam, or jelly. Another advantage over the common guava is that strawberry guava care is generally easier. This tree is hardier and will tolerate more difficult conditions than common guava. Although it prefers a warmer climate, the strawberry guava will remain hardy down to temperatures as low as 22 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 C.). It does best in full sun. It will tolerate poor soils that other fruit trees will not, including limestone soils. If you do have poor soil, your tree may need more watering to produce fruit. These fruity berries grow on a large shrub that can grow to be up to 14 feet high. Strawberry guava season peaks in the spring, but can be available year-round in certain parts of the globe. At Rancho Santa Cecilia, a farm in California where the fruit in your Farm Stand shipment comes from, the season lasts typically from November to July. Strawberry guava season in the United States is like having a little bit of summer early in the year!Strawberry Guava Germination:1) To scarify in order to break their dormancy, you need to soak the seeds in boiling water for five minutes.2) Be sure to use a heated propagator to ensure the soil maintains a temperature as constant of 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
