If you’re looking for a tropical fruit tree that’s flavorful, productive, and easy to care for, guava trees are the perfect choice. These versatile trees adapt well to warm climates like Florida and can even be grown in containers for patios or smaller spaces.

Why Grow a Guava Tree?

One of the best things about guava is how quickly it rewards you. Most grafted guava trees will begin producing fruit in 2 to 4 years, sometimes sooner, and with proper care, they can live and bear fruit for 30 to 40 years. They love full sun, adapt to containers, and with light pruning, you can easily keep their size manageable.

  • How long does it take to get fruit from a guava tree? Usually 2-4 years, faster if grafted.

  • Which guava tree is best? It depends. Some prefer pink flesh for sweetness, others choose white for mild flavor, or special grafted trees for unique tastes.

Mealy bugs. white insects on the back of the leaves. What are they?

Mealybugs are small, soft-bodied insects that commonly infest fruit trees and other plants. They are often found in clusters, resembling white or grayish cottony masses. Mealybugs feed on the sap of plants, causing damage by extracting nutrients and weakening the tree. They can also excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty mold.



To get rid of mealybugs in fruit trees, here are some methods you can try:
Manual Removal: Inspect your fruit trees regularly and manually remove any visible mealybugs. You can use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to dab and remove them from the affected areas.


Natural Predators: Encourage the presence of natural predators like ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps that feed on mealybugs. You can attract these beneficial insects by planting flowers and herbs that provide them with nectar and pollen.


Horticultural Oils: Apply horticultural oil sprays, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, to the infested areas of the fruit tree. These oils smother and kill mealybugs without causing significant harm to beneficial insects. Follow the instructions on the product label for proper application.


Pruning Infested Parts: If the infestation is localized, prune and remove heavily infested branches or leaves. Dispose of the pruned material carefully to prevent spreading the mealybugs to other parts of the tree or other plants.


Water Jets: Use a strong stream of water from a hose to dislodge and remove mealybugs from the tree. Focus on areas where the pests tend to congregate, such as leaf axils, bark crevices, and undersides of leaves.


Biological Control: Consider using biological control agents specifically targeted against mealybugs. Some beneficial insects like Cryptolaemus ladybird beetles or parasitic wasps can effectively control mealybug populations. Consult with local agricultural extension services or garden centers for guidance on suitable options for your region.


Maintain Plant Health: Mealybugs are more likely to attack weak or stressed plants. Ensure your fruit trees receive proper care, including appropriate watering, fertilization, and pruning. Healthy trees are more resilient to pest infestations.



Remember, it's important to monitor the infestation and continue treatments as needed to ensure complete control. If the mealybug problem persists or becomes overwhelming, it may be helpful to consult with a professional arborist or local agricultural extension service for further guidance and recommendations.

Tips for growing guava trees

Sun exposure



For optimal growth and fruit production, it is recommended to plant guava trees in areas with abundant sunlight.
Select the warmest part of the landscape that does not experience flooding or excessive moisture after typical summer rainfall.



Watering



To ensure optimal growth, follow these watering guidelines for newly planted guava trees:
- Water the trees at the time of planting and continue watering every other day for approximately the first week.
- Afterwards, water the trees 1 to 2 times per week during the initial couple of months.
- In extended dry spells, when there is minimal or no rainfall for 5 or more days, it is crucial to provide ample water to newly planted and young guava trees (within their first year). In such cases, water the trees thoroughly twice a week.
- Once the rainy season begins, it is possible to reduce or even halt irrigation frequency as natural rainfall will supplement the water requirements of the trees.



Growing guava tree in containers



The guava tree is an ideal choice for container gardening as it can be easily maintained as a compact tree. Even when grown in a container, it has the potential to yield an impressive harvest of 10-20 guavas annually.
