Well said. Can we trust all Home Depot labels? Ruby x Supreme seems to have variants out there.
The HD labels on the guava would be trustworthy. The ruby x supreme is the standard pink guava sold here in FL. There is another ruby supreme called 10-30, but it's generally not sold. It resists fruit fly attack a little better, but to me the taste was a little bitter. I ended up yanking mine.Make sure to bag your fruits if you're in FL. The caribbean fruit fly will ruin an entire crop. Organza bags work very well.Quote from: MameyDisco on March 11, 2019, 01:00:22 AMWell said. Can we trust all Home Depot labels?

I just bought organza bags for guava. 6x9 inches for 15 cents each. That size should be OK for the clusters of 3 fruit which I hope to get, they are flowering that way.
