Guava Tree Seeds. The guava (Psidium guajava) is a shrub or small tree which grows 2 to 8 m tall. Guavas are a group of tropical trees in the Psidium genus that produce delicious fruit. When cultivated it is usually pruned back to about 2 to 3 m. Trees that are not pruned, usually flower during October. When they are pruned, the period of full bloom is 10 to 12 weeks after pruning. Bees are the main pollinators, but self-pollination also occurs.
Guava trees can be planted in containers and will produce fruit with no issues. Guavas are high in vitamin C. The trees give good shade because they do not lose their leaves in winter. It loves the South African weather and we have found that guava trees planted from seed produces fruit in as little as three years if they are given enough water. We have successfully grown multiple guava trees from seed and were amazed at how productive the tree is in such a short space of time, even when planted in containers. The guava tree is the perfect fruit tree to plant in any sized garden as well as in containers if you do not have space for a formal garden.
