Guava trees after 2 years

 

• Guava tree will take 2-3 years to mature and start to form fruits.

• Guava tree at this stage would grow by 5-6 meters high on average, but if properly pruning it does not exceed the height of 3 m.

• Guava tree grows with mottled greenish bark and long 3- to 7-inch serrated leaves.

• Guava trees produce white, 1-inch flowers that yield to small round, oval or pear shaped fruits.

• Guava plants thrive in any soil with good drainage, and full sun for best flowering and fruit production.

• Keep the soil evenly moist for best fruit production; allow the top 2 or 3 inches of soil to dry before watering again.

• If the soil goes completely dry, flowering may be delayed or fruit may drop. Reduce water in winter.
