Looking for sweet white non-crunchy guava cuttings

[Malhar]

When fully ripe, it becomes yellow, soft and aromatic. It is sweeter than white Asian guavas but not very sweet.

Has anyone here heard of the "Giant Taiwanese Long" guava?
The description of this one is, it has long, narrow leaf. Good when eaten crunchy or soft. I was lucky to get some cuttings over the weekend of this one, here's the photo of it. I have not seen the real fruit, this is just the data sheet photo, but the person who gave me the cuttings said it does have this long shape.



When I searched for the guava, it may be the same as the King Kong guava since I see they use the same photo for the guava picture (CH Fruit Tree nursery).

The other guava cutting I just got is called Indonesian Seedless Guava (good when eaten soft. Sweet pineapple/guava flavor). Is anyone growing this one, or has tried the fruits?

The person who has this tree said it will get a little yellow on the outside when fully ripe on the tree, and a little soft, taste is sweeter than the other two varieties he grows (Giant Taiwanesse Long, and Taiwanese Seedless).

The White  Peruvian guava I have tasted really good in some year and bland the other year. Maybe it has something to do with the long rainy season and watering schedule. I don't live in the property now, so it is hard to arrange the watering schedule
 I grew up eating Indonesian seedless guava,  in my humble opinion it is good, but not really good that it is worth to import a tree. The good Peruvian guava is better than the Indonesian seedless, more creamy and bigger.

Malhar, so is your Pakistan Larkana tree large enough to start holding fruit yet? Did you taste it on your tree?

I got cutitngs of the Taiwanese Long, Indonesian Seedless, and two other varieties from this person. He mentioned the same about 2 of these large white flesh guava fruits. He said the fruit starts out hard (size is medium-large) but if you wait until the outside of the fruit starts to turn a little yellow, then it gets a little softer and is sweet (for a guava).

I found another guava fruit on the ground there, it was not the hard crunchy type, it was more like the Sylvia guava, the fruit gets pretty soft when ripe. I noticed this fruit which is about the same size as the Mexican Cream (2-3" long) because the inside flesh was pink/red. After I asked about it, he said it was called Ruby Supreme. He got it from a nursery.

Here's what the Ruby Supreme fruit I saw looks like, but not as big as they say in the website.

Also, the fruit I saw did have most fragrance than any other soft flesh guava I have, but this fruit was on the ground and over ripe. I'll try to show a photo of it later. The brix I measured was 14.

Ok, found this photo, it looks more like the fruit I had.



Anyone else grow the Ruby Supreme?

Barak, I do have the Mexican Cream variety so if you are interested in a cutting (for trade?) let me know since I'm grafting my Sylvia guava to all my Home Depot Mexican Cream trees.

I have been growing a Ruby Supreme tree for last few years. I have tried it fruit in different stages and even when completely ripe, flavor is mild at best. I am thinking of getting rid of it.

The tree from where I picked up the over ripe fruit is very large, about 15 feet tall, maybe 10-15 years old. I hope to taste a good fruit that is ripe, not over ripe next time.

Hey Barath,

I didn't look through this post. I have a Alabahadi guava that produces the "pear" shaped fruit and is soft and sweet.

let me know if you come down here again, or maybe I can somehow mail an airlayer to you.

Mark, can you tell me what color the flesh is on Alabahadi guava?

I purchased one from Guava King a while ago and that fruit was very small and flesh was pink. But the taste was not bad.

Yeah, the flesh is pure white and a decent size.

Guava King issues aside, Allahabadi guava can be either white (Safeda) or red (surkha). Red seems to be less common.
