Guava Tree, Amrud, Psidium guajava (Sardar L49, Grafted) – Plant

It bears attractive bright pink flowers, as opposed to the boring cream white flowers of the usual guava.

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

Planting And Care

• The tree should be planted in well-drained soil where its roots have room to spread.
• Fertilize growing guavas every one to two months while young and then three to four times per year as the tree matures.
• Guava trees need a high amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, along with some magnesium for maximum fruit production.
