Psidium guajava cv. white fruit (yellow peel) - guajava (100 seeds)

Shrub or small evergreen tree up to 4-6 m tall. Entire opposite leaves pubescent on the underside. Small white flowers, borne on one-year branches, solitary or gathered in small groups. Very fragrant spherical fruits, white on the outside and with white, sweet and sour or sour pulp, with numerous small, white seeds.

Pedoclimatic needs

It prefers light soils, although it can also live on heavy ones, as long as there is no stagnation. The pH must be neutral (with alkaline pH it manifests ferric chlorosis). Guava is widely cultivated in tropical countries, both at a family and industrial level. Non-rustic plant, it resists temperatures up to +2°/+4°c. In the Mediterranean basin, although there are favorable conditions for cultivation (citrus climate), it is only present sporadically.
