That’s similar to a dragon fruit plant, where when the growth falls over is usually when it wants to begin to flower...

i arbitrary give it that name of Betty, then after talking with the home owner, we decided it would be nice to name it after his wife Syliva, so that is what happened. In the beginning he didn't want to give it a name and just asked me to name it but changed his mind later.
That's lovely. Thanks for the reply.
Sounds good. I'm also going to try rooting some cuttings, if it works then I should have some extras by the end of the year. I'm just hoping my grafts will be good so I can get some fruits in a few years.
Not just a good fruit, frost hardy, and ornamental too.
Thanks for giving us hope that the NZ varieties are really as good and as productive as many fruit tree nurseries had stated!
Once I prepare and work in organic matter on a plot of land, I hope to become the proud owner of a little pineapple guava orchard. No winter protection needed since my winter climate is mild enough for them. They are said to be hardy down to 5F, which IMHO, is amazing for a South American fruit tree...🙂
I saw slight leaf damage and some small amount of damage to stem tips at 16°F, so I think you'll see some more significant damage quite a bit higher than 5°F, but that might be the kill threshold.
