Guava recommendations- soft and juicy vs hard/crunchy.

[100904]

I’m looking for a soft juicy guava. Not the hard crunchy apple/pear type. Sweeter the better.

I see Florida, mexican, Indonesian, Vietnamese, white/pink and so on.

What should I look for?

Preferably one that comes somewhat close to true so I can just buy some seeds and grow it out.

I already have Barbie pink or something like that which I never tasted but is fruiting now.

I have some kind of pink guava (true guava - psidium guajava), I am not sure what type as it was mislabelled, but it looks similar to the common Ruby Supreme type.  Mine is a clone so I am not sure how true they are from seed nor how long it takes to fruit from seed.

It is soft when ripe, juicy and sweet.  I recommend it.  I don't like crunch guavas, either.   You might also like cattley guavas, both red and yellow types are nice.  Cattley guavas are commonly grown from seed and fruit quickly.

I do have the lemon/strawberry guava (Psidium littorale) which are also called Cattley guava - love the lemon have yet to try the strawberry.

Mexican cream is king, IMO

This keeps coming up but I can’t find seeds for “Mexican cream” just yellow/white Mexican guava.

I can see why they aren’t sold as “mexican cream” if they don’t come true to seed but I read they come
Pretty close so I’d by those seeds.

Do you happen to have some seeds from a Mexican cream guava for sale?

i think the little yellow guys are all called "mexican cream" i dont think that it is a specific variety. all the tiny yellow guavas i have had here or in mexico have been roughly the same, sweet and creamy

Ha - ok then. I’ll grab some seeds next time I see seeds for
yellow Mexican guava and hopefully it turns out alright.

Thanks!
