There is a seedless guava Zulfiqar that is supposedly popular in Taiwan and Thailand?
It's pretty bland.

Yes,
There are introduced by Taiwan Technical Mission cooperate with Bogor Agricultural University at 2010.

Crystal guava is very sweet, bland, few seeds, and crunchy texture

If you ate that yellow guava here in Florida it sounds like the LEMON GUAVA that was (Jeff correct me if I am wrong) Selected in Miami or Homestead.

They are lucious, and have a very citrus like flavor, and scale does not like them... a Big Plus for a guava

I have not been able to locate any guava that it resembles exactly. Lemon Guava was the first thing I looked up, but if you see the photo here as an example, it is lighter, more round, has a more distinct cattley guava-type end, and in the photo the seeds are arranged into sections, and look larger than the seeds of my guava. Also, the one I ate did not have a very citrusy flavor... it was more like sweet passionfruit maybe. Hard to describe. The ones I had were about 2.5 inches long, which are a bit larger than I think Lemon Guava are supposed to be. The person I bought it from was at a farmer's market and said it was from Mexico (so not local).

Here is a photo of a lemon guava from the internet:


And then here is the mystery guava I ate, that so far have no sprouted seedlings from [note that it is a more golden color, oblong shape, minimal brown tips, very small seeds arranged as a circle within a circle, and the flesh much creamier-looking than the above photo of the lemon guava - you can't tell from the photo, but these are about 2.5 inches long]:



If you click on the photo it's easier to see it up close.

Sorry, Zulfikar, I don't have any more photos to help you out. But I'm sure that Indonesian guavas are very tasty, and I don't know that you need a Mexican yellow variety to do well. I've never tried a crystal guava, but I've read that they are very good, sweet and with few seeds. Although I loved the flavor of the yellow guava I tried, clearly it had a lot of small hard seeds, and that was a bit of a drawback - although apparently you can eat guava seeds and they have medicinal benefits if you don't eat too many (and if you do not have an intestinal condition that could cause them to get stuck in the intestinal lining and cause infection!). I ate a few, but by and large I saved them and planted them in my yard.

Thanks for your explanation...

that's give me more knowledge.
Hopefully i can go to florida and visit your field. MAybe i can more knowledge if i visit your field..
Yes, in Indonesia Crystal Guava more favourite cause that's have few seeds. Indonesia people not like eat guava's seed. So crystal guava is very favourite.

Since we are talking guava  i am looking for a variety that is sweet but minimaly musky.  I just can't handle the cat pee smell some have.

Welcome!

I'm not a guava farmer, but I have tried pink, white and yellow guavas. My favorite so far was a small yellow variety that looked like a small lemon, with edible skin and a pale yellow interior. The taste was very exotic and tropical and the smell made me almost faint it was so good! I have not been able to identify the variety yet, but the closest I can tell it is might be a Mexican cultivar. I planted the seeds but have not gotten any sprouts yet.

I'm curious to see what other people say is their favorite!
Wow, seems amazing...
in Indonesia i never see the yellow flesh guava.
can you give me the pict? please...


Recently, The Indonesian Guava Farmers are planting crystal guava (Taiwan Guava).
Red flesh guava has been leaved.

When you say, "fresh cut fruit" are you talking about keeping harvested fruit fresh for shipping, or are you asking about preserving fruit for long periods of time?

It is also important to know which fruit.    there are many ways to preserve fruit,  from dehydrating, and pickling, to freezing,  as for shipping,  refrigeration, comes to mind.  but all this depends on which fruit.

Thak you ...
Are you have refference about fresh cut fruit? Such as, journal or magazine that discuss about cut fruit?

To increase Brix levels, make sure the tree is fully mature before allowing it to hold fruit. Also make sure your tree gets maximum sun exposure and don't overwater your tree. In the agriculture industry, they will do plant and soil analysis so that they know what nutrients or elements are required by the tree.

As a backyard orchard grower, you can follow my above recommendations and also thin about half of the set fruit off your tree so that your tree can concentrate its resources on fewer high quality fruit. If you are not currently fertilizing your tree, you can add some Potassium, Calcium, minute amounts of Boron but it gets very detailed so it may be easier to feed about once a month with an organic fruit tree fertilizer. I've found organic fertilizers are more forgiving and easier to use for newbies. I also use Azomite to replenish my soils.

Thanks very much Adam,
I always fertilizing my Guava wih KCL every 2 week. And some time i give boron.
You know, what is the function Boron for Fruit quality??

Pearl and Crystal  are two Taiwan varieties introduced by their agriculture extension  program here in the D.R.    they have been well received by consumers.  I would go as far and say they have taken the guava market, rarely do i see the older smaller ones in markets.  ( strawberry types ).

Thanks guys,
yes, in my country Taiwan introduce two variety of guava that crystal and pearl.
In my country teh Crystal is more favourite. How about your country?
