Had someone suggest it’s likely a strawberry guava with the fruits dried out but the gf swears it’s not and says it’s like a tropical blueberry ? Anyone have any ideas

At the very least, malnourished and poorly cared for. I believe Strawberry Guava is the correct I.D. Chris

I highly doubt it. I’ve seen thousands of strawberry guavas in Hi and they don’t look like this

Mmmmm, tropical blueberries. Thats a dead strawberry guava in a pot. Impossible to kill a strawberry guava in Hawaii through neglegience, but I've seen it just like that in CA.

It's strawberry guava, just a very stressed out plant. Look at dried out fruits, cattley.

Total shot in the dark, if it isn’t strawbery guava (which seems the most likely) could it be Myrcianthes pungens?

Okay, it's already been said, but this is strawberry or lemon guava. See photo of my in-ground "lemon guava" bush that produces hundreds of delicious fruit annually... so many that I leave some on the tree for the wildlife. Sometimes even the birds, squirrels and rats can't eat them all...
FWIW, it's already starting to flower again.
