So i am a bit confused.
if i remember right, i got seeds from here...
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/psidium-acutangulum-para-guava-seeds (http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/psidium-acutangulum-para-guava-seeds)
and the leaves DO look similar
the problem is, i cant find any authority that can confirm this
often, i search for this plant, and the leaves look just like regular guava leaves.
Once or twice, i found a site showing similar leaves
but the plant was named "Angulatum", not " Acutangulum "
If someone can ID the pics of my plant
at bottom
i would appreciate it
I will leave a few links i found searching
none of which really have helped much...

USDA.gov website snames Psidium acutangulum
