My first crystal seedless guava

It is not completely seedless and the favor is almost the same with my white guava.  Not too much of different. 

It flowers all year long.

Pinkturtle,
That’s pretty late to get these crystal guavas.  I harvested all my crystals in September/October because squirrels started to raid the fruit.  Yes, they are not completely seedless (less than 15...I counted once) but are virtually seedless, as I can eat the whole fruit without getting annoyed by them. I read somewhere that the seed count can increase if pollinated by a nearby tree of another (seedy) variety.
I did notice that yours had a cavity.  The ones I’ve grown don’t have this cavity.
Hope you like them.  Even though not as sweet, I like eating them when crunchy.
