Which variety is the "Taiwanese Guava" sold in the nurseries

[vrk3]

Hi,

When nurseries have "Taiwanese Guava" as the label, which variety of Taiwan guava is it? - Pearl, Century, Pear, Crystal etc?

Unknown. I know many nurseries (especially in socal) source their air layered guava trees from local growers. Many may not even know the variety and simply say "Taiwanese". I bought 4 trees few years ago from a local nursery labeled "Taiwanese". One of the four is different. Better quality fruits but a bit more shy bearing.

I saw you are on the hunt for TW guava. I know a master garderner here in Socal who propagate pearl, crystal, emperor, king kong, watermelon, TW ruby and many others. He used to take preorders and deliver a van load of trees up to Norcal. Not sure if he is doing that anymore.

I bought emperor, watermelon, king Kong, crystal and pearl from him. I visited his yard many times and seen his trees where he air layered them. I can provide his contact if you send me an IM.

Yes, thanks. I sent you an IM. Let me know if you received it (I can't tell from my side)
