I wish I could help. I spent the 1980's in St Croix Virgin Islands where Guavaberry was highly prized. So much so that the people who knew where it grew wild wouldn't even show me, an outsider from "stateside", where it grew. There must be substantial amounts because every year people would have the liquor to share around and it was very good. I did some searching and did find that it is also known from Saint Maarten in the Dutch antilles here is a view and some recipes for how it is used.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYlo10SEQYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8381C6mhbsg
Nice!-Stories like these are why I have 100 4" pots with seeds on my table
I bought some seeds from Tang Tonic in late 2020 or early 2021. They took their sweet time germinating and did not grow very quickly after they finally germinated. Knowing how slow and irregular their germination rate is, I did not toss the un-germinated seeds. They have been kept moist and warm; so, who knows; maybe the rest of them will show some signs of life at some point?

They were babied with rain and spring water while sitting on a temp controlled heat mat. Seven months later...about 10 have sprouted including a couple last week. So yeah, very sporadic. Don't give up on them. I did recently crank up the heat mat a few degrees at night. Maybe that helped the recent sprouts
