Indonesian seedless guava from papaya tree nursery

[xshen]

has anyone tried this fruit?  What is the texture and flavor like? Is it crisp or meant to be eaten soft?

Not sure about what Papaya Nursery has, but I had an Indonesian White fleshed seedless guava tree years ago from Hopkins Nursery. The fruits were small, the skin yellow when ripe and they were quite good.  In fact, for me, not necessarily a big guava lover, they were as good or better than most other guavas I have tired.  The seedlessness is a big thing for me.  Nice flavor, nice aroma and no hard seeds to chew on.....a winner in my book.  I always ate them ripe...never under ripe and hard.  But, they may have been good like that also.

I'm always on the lookout for a reliably productive large seedless guava, whether red or white. Although, I've developed a preference for the white type because in my experience, they are much more resistant to fruit fly larva attack.

If the Indonesian guava referred to is the same one I had, it was never a large fruited cultivar.  The largest fruits were golf ball sized, most were slightly smaller.
