Red Apple Guava Seeds

Widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, guava fruits can range in size from as small as an apricot to as large as a grapefruit. This cultivar features pink to red flesh.
When cultivated from seed, guavas are notable for their extremely slow growth rate for several months, before a very rapid acceleration in growth rate takes over. From seed, common guavas may bloom and set fruit in as few as two years or as many as eight. Cuttings, grafting, and air layering are more commonly used as a propagation method in commercial groves. Highly adaptable, guavas can be easily grown as container plants in temperate regions, though their ability to bloom and set fruit is somewhat less predictable.
The plant is used in many different shampoo products for its scen. It is also becoming a popular bonsai species and is currently quite popular in India and Eastern Asia. Guava wood from Hawaii is commonly used for the smoking of meat. The wood is resistant to insect and fungal attack.
Hardy down to 28 degrees, but may lose foliage at this temperature, easily grown in containers.
