Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave
« on: February 16, 2024, 02:00:39 AM »
Any one knows the difference between Ruby verses Ruby Supreme guava? According to the article below, Ruby sounds to be a superior fruit, but a Google search for "Ruby Guava" only returns "Ruby Supreme" results.

I just saw a fruit of Ruby Supreme and it looks like a good one, with lots of tropical guava aroma.

But the fruit I had picked off the ground was over ripe so not a good one to determine the taste of it. I got some cuttings, so I hope to get some fruits in a few years. The fruit I had looks similar to this photo of the Ruby Supreme but more over ripe if you can picture that. Flesh was dark pink, almost red.

Ruby Supreme is link, has seeds (I don't think it has a many, but I don't have much experience with how many other cultivars have). It can be eaten hard and is good with a little salt. It can be ripened and eaten as a sweet dessert. Ripen past that and it makes a good air freshener.
