The tree is the original variety of YangMei.  It can produce fruits but smaller than DongKui and not as sweet as other varieties, but the tree is a lot easier to grow than the other and the successful rate is higher.  I might graft some other varieties to it.

If I have to pick one, ruby seedless.  Both of them are very good.

My favorite guavas.

红宝石芭乐/Taiwan ruby seedless guava
水蜜芭乐/Honey seedless guava.

Honey seedless guava is similar with crystal guava but a little bit softer and sweeter.

I believe it is 胭脂红番石榴, carmine guava, one of the oldest variety out there.

$200 is a reasonable price for that size. 
Yes, those are the fruits are hanging on my tree. They are not ripe yet.  My camera flashlight makes them look like they are ready to harvest.

* It is self fertile, at least mine is
* Take about 4 months for the fruits mature, the fruits will turn yellow-geen color.  Harvest around February.
* Size about a small green apple if you thin the fruits.

Just curious, how much you pay for your tree?

Here is a picture of my fruits now, I didn't thin the fruits.
