Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- Highly aromatic white flesh, sweet when fully ripe, with the musky perfume people either love or aim at the neighbor's yard.
- Ripens
- Often within a year or two of planting. Crops can come more than once — commonly late summer and again in the cooler months.
- Zones
- Zones 9 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Hurt around the upper 20s. A frozen guava frequently resprouts from the base.
- Size
- A large shrub or small tree, 8 to 15 feet. Easy to keep at picking height.
- Tips
- In sandy Florida soil, nematodes are the real pest. Mulch thickly, add compost, and do not till under the plant.
