Thai Green Guavas

[Carlincool]

I bought a Thai green guava tree that was about 5 ft tall in May. It is now over 10 ft tall and no 1 single flower or fruit. I was told they produce most of the year.
I had a strawberry Guava before and at 4 ft it was loaded with fruit most of the year.
Im I doing something wrong? I feed it monthly with miracle grow monthly and water. It looks very healthy.
Thanks!

Hi,

It is possible to you have been treating your guava TOO well.
Too much fertilizer (of the wrong kind (Nitrogen)) often promotes vegetative growth at the expense
of blooming and fruiting.

Or, it may be that your plant needs to adjust and synchronize to the seasons,
before settling to a regular blooming and fruiting cycle.

Almost 1 foot per month in vegetative growth?!? Wow,that is fast. You may want to cut off the juice (miracle growth) and let nature take it's course.

Pruning can induce flowering in guavas.

My Thai Guava pumps fruit out like a machine.More heavy pruning and less N in the fertilizer is what I reckon.
