Guava growth rate?
« on: January 19, 2019, 11:06:45 PM »
Hello! I'm going to buy a 5 gallon tropic pink guava that is 5 ft tall tomorrow. I'm in Arizona so we have warm weather and lots of sun. When will I get my first batch of fruit?

I bought mine when it was around 2 feet tall. Cut off but 3 main branches so it would grow faster. Not even a year later it is over 7 foot tall. I should get fruit this summer.

They grow like weeds.  Should get fruit first or second year.
