Purple maroon guava

Had this recently, and the taste was absolutely fantastic. No grittiness and very sweet and berry like taste. Unlike those I have tasted previously. What is more interesting is that the core has turned almost dark purple bruise like Color, it's not over ripe but just nice. The core has become a purple jello and it's a pleasure to eat it. I know that guava has a high level of pectin and that have resulted in this. But it's still amazingly to see that.
I wonder if the others growing this guva
Cheers

This cant be the same as the Asian purple guava I had previously that is now mulch.It was whiter inside and the foliage had a red tinge.The fruit on that was poor.

Isn't it a red/purple malayan guava? What's the color of the skin of the ripe fruit? Have you got some seeds for sale?

Mmm... I'd like to try that! Too bad I'm not in Singapore... but I am considering living there someday, so hopefully those will still be around for me to taste when I get there!
