First on my favs list is a Thai Red, also called purple or black.
Looks great, Galka!Do you have disease issues with guavas in Ocala? I would like to plant them here in St. Pete, but have heard that guavas are hard to care for because of high humidity and abundance of insects.
Your Thai red looks excellent! I've got a guava similar to yours but I haven't received fruit from it yet, definitely gets me excited to try it!
I had all those guavas and removed them. These are best guavas I’ve ever had Jalisco roja and Dolores seedless../for white Thai cream
GalkaI waited a few yrs before removing the inferior varieties. I had over 20 trees now I’m left with the top 3Dolores seedless red only one around Thai Cream is my late guava in November December
This is a magnificent looking fruit Galka. How does this taste compared to the Malaysian magenta? The Malaysian magenta is a pretty damn good guava when picked in the winter in so cal. Your Thai looks even more appealing. I am curious about taste. Im not a big fan of soft guavas but the deep red color has piqued my interest.

I have two, small seedling and 8' tall air-layer I think. Didn't get any fruit from either of them. Hopefully, next year, so I can compare the fruits and the taste.

Red Malaysian is one of the worst tasting guava to me. I got it at Lowe's. The taste is a little tart and bitter. But it sure is very fragrant, Lol.
