Is Queen Guava (ổi nữ hoàng) same as Crystal Guava?
« on: June 25, 2022, 07:16:33 PM »
I recently came across a guava from Vietnam called Queen Guava (ổi nữ hoàng) which looks very similar to Crystal Guava. Anyone know if it is the same?

First time heard there is a Queen variety of guava.  Do you have pictures of it? I know someone people call guava Queen of fruit.

I grew several Queen Guava from seed collected @F&SPark years ago. The pictured fruit isn’t like what I got which is more pear shaped.

I looked at a bunch of videos and all of them seem to suggest this is Crystal.

Agree with seng, it is crystal to me too.
