Yup, it was really good too. The outside was a pale yellow and green and about the size of an 8 ball, it was very aromatic, white flesh soft not firm or mushy, mildly sweet and a bit tart, not too many seeds and I ate the skin and all!
The problem is not one of my guava trees are labeled as a white variety. This one fell off of the tree with the nylon bag and I have no idea which tree was mis-labeled.
I got two trees labeled as Ruby Supreme (RS) at Home Depot or Lowes but I do have an unlabeled variety that I saved from the compost bin as it was dehydrated and near death and the manager said they only received RS this year and claimed that it MUST be a RS! The kicker is that the unlabeled tree has not had fruit on it yet and the other RS in in my front yard many feet from where I found the fruit on the deck.
So which was the culprit? The Barbie pink (BP)? the RS? or the Scarlet (S)? Unknown because all those with labeled varieties had fruit on them and I did not keep a count.
This presents two problems.
1. I liked the white Guava and have no idea what it actually is so I cannot get another one if I wanted it.
2. If it was the BP, or S I do not know which to replace! I'm hoping the other RS are correctly labeled!
Caveat emptor? :-)
Oh well one thing for sure, after getting a few that were labeled as "Mexican cream" years ago that were terrible tasting I'm now having to admit that a white guava can be edible! :-)
