Guava Tree Flowering and Pollination

 

• The guava tree blooms in early spring, but may bloom all year in mild climates.

• Guava tree has perfect flowers with male and female parts in each flower.

• Honeybees pollinate the guava flowers.

• If there are no bees in your area, then you may hand pollinate the flowers.

• Use a very small paint brush and tickle the inside of flowers.

• Spray your guava tree a 5 % solution of urea mixed with a wetting agent just before flowering.

• When the urea spray dries, then water the plant.

• This will increase the duration of fruit production.
