I have 5 guaviyús , one is 3 meters tall and is 6 or 7 years old , It never even gave flowers , I planted it the last year; and I have another 4 guaviyús in pots , 4 years old, approx .
Of the pots , I gave away 2 to the family and one was planted in the food forest we are doing with a friend. The other remains in my garden, into a nice pot.
All of them sprouted this spring , and even one that I have in a pot in my garden continued sprouting here in the fall and part of winter.
But, what I want to tell you, that surprised me a lot, is that the one who gave my mother dobre (the mother of my wife) rebounded with leaves that double the size of the other guaviyús , and already has 2 buds , while no other one has buds! In fact it's very rare because this guaviyú does not receive a lot of sun...
I have the hope that the large leaves are large fruit symptom , since I do not know for sure the size of the fruits of all these guaviyús .
Last summer I tried a few fruits I brought from Buenos Aires , from another big tree (8 metters tall?) in front of a square, and they were very nice, but tiny.
Cheers
