Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave
« on: February 16, 2024, 02:00:39 AM »
Any one knows the difference between Ruby verses Ruby Supreme guava? According to the article below, Ruby sounds to be a superior fruit, but a Google search for "Ruby Guava" only returns "Ruby Supreme" results.

I just saw a fruit of Ruby Supreme and it looks like a good one, with lots of tropical guava aroma.

But the fruit I had picked off the ground was over ripe so not a good one to determine the taste of it. I got some cuttings, so I hope to get some fruits in a few years. The fruit I had looks similar to this photo of the Ruby Supreme but more over ripe if you can picture that. Flesh was dark pink, almost red.

Ruby Supreme is link, has seeds (I don't think it has a many, but I don't have much experience with how many other cultivars have). It can be eaten hard and is good with a little salt. It can be ripened and eaten as a sweet dessert. Ripen past that and it makes a good air freshener.

I have been growing a Ruby Supreme tree for last few years. I have tried it fruit in different stages and even when completely ripe, flavor is mild at best. I am thinking of getting rid of it.

Do you have a photo of your fruit, is the shape like the one I showed above? How large is the fruit, I see different photos that shows a smal to large round fruit so not sure which one is correct.
