So, maybe the Sylvia guava grows larger (weight) than any of the Carmine series so it may not be from the same family of guavas.

I think it was cut too early but that it could grow. I’d keep it wet and warm. I’ve seen stuff like that work out.

Hi again, I have a Loquat that has been in the ground for 12 months that started producing flower buds about 4 weeks ago, they have not yet bloomed which seems odd to me. Is this normal behaviour for a young plant? The variety on the plant tag is “Enormity” if that is of any value.

fanshiliu, thank you for posting these photos of the Carmine guava. If you can translate in English any of your comments that would be nice.

I have not seen these Carmine guava photos so your pictures are appreciated, thanks.

I think there were a few other TFF members that mention this to me as well. It sure does look very similar to the guava fruit you posted, I'm excited to see this.

The person who has this large tree (height about 17 feet) told me his relative brought the tree from Taiwan. He has 2 trees, his tree and one more at another house.

So far, for me this guava is my favorite of all of the ones I have eaten. Still did not taste the frutis from JF (Frank) pnk/red flesh guava called Delores and Jalisco. My grafted branches of this one is still growing slow and may not get a fruit on it for another year. If anyone else (besides Brad) is growing Frank's guava, please post some photos of it here so I can see what it looks like. I surprised that not many if anyone else has Frank's guava fruiting yet.

抱歉，我以为你是华人，以为你能看得懂中文。Sorry, I thought you were Chinese and thought you could read Chinese.

胭脂红是广东的品种，台湾应该没有，但是也不排除有人从广东把种苗带到台湾去了。Carmine is a Guangdong variety and should not be found in Taiwan, but we can't rule out that someone brought seedlings from Guangdong to Taiwan.

我发的这些图片是别人上传的，我也只是一个刚入门的爱好者。 These pictures I'm posting were uploaded by someone else, and I'm just a hobbyist just getting started.

fanshiliu——就是中文里番石榴的意思  “Fanshiliu”  it means guava in Chinese.

The medium needs to be kept very wet when establishing layers in pots.
