ive been reading this thread with much interest, as i love guava
and want a couple more.
i have several growing from seed, and also the red and yellow strawberry guava
which have flowers on them now, but havent tasted the fruit yet.
also a purple dwarf (Psidium myrtoides?) from here...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Purple-Dwarf-Guava-Araza-Psidium-myrtoides-Rare-Tropical-Fruit-Tree-Seedling-/121796060124i have a larger guava plant that gives me very good fruit
the plant came from south Texas at an open market.
(probably originally from Mexico),
has creamy soft flesh, but someone told me they dont think it is Mexican cream...
can someone ID this ??
ive been reading a lot about varieties, and the 3 that stick out are
"Allahabad Safeda", Crystal and Pearl.
Egyptian white, and Indian Red seem to be liked much as well...
"Allahabad Safeda" seems very hard to get in the states
and i am in New Orleans, so i would need a nursery that ships.
so, i was thinking of getting some scions from GRIN...

i have seeds (and seedlings) for Psidium acutangulum /Para Guava
which i have read good things about... (although some say very acid, but that may be a mis-ID)
a couple of people swear its much better than regular guava.

and Psidium guineense / Brazilian Guava
