Guineense is pumping them out HARD right now. I did see my hand pollinated guineense x guajava fruit fell, it was tiny so maybe seedless but hoping for a new cultivar it is seeded.
Has anyone seen this kind of issue? This is longipetiolatum and it's been in the ground here for a few years with only a hint of this in previous winters. The spots appeared over the last few weeks after a few mild freezes, but looks more fungal than freeze damage to me (maybe a fungus that invaded after mild freeze damage?). The shade of the leaves also has been getting pale since late summer even after some fish emulsion a few times, so I was suspecting soil pH issues.
my tree from China fruited 3. 2 was eaten by critters. I was able to eat 1 & still fruiting small ones.
The outer part was slightly red hue & internal is same as greg_D. Its creamy for me & sweet. Better than Ruby supreme, mexican cream in my opinion.
Too bad, wasnt able to take a photo.
Yeah the one I had was like a bigger, prettier Mexican cream. By the way, I've noticed people tend to dislike seeds in guava. Is that just for crunchy guavas? I don't mind seeds in soft guavas at all
My new location will be in Hollister Ranch, on a 100 acre lot, with 20gpm well, in SOLID 10a zone, with a 17,000lb producing avocado orchard on property. The barn is rough, but has a living unit built into it. The owner of the property found me by way of my newspaper article and wants me there badly. He has also been collecting "rare" fruit trees for 40 years or so, and was excited by my collection. I'll be doing 10 hours of work a week for him to offset the rent a bit, and expanding his orchard, with a focus on rare stuff.
It's exciting for me, despite the drawbacks of the ranch - it's a 40-50 min drive to Santa Barbara where I work. The gates are airtight and I am uncertain if I'll be able to have guests. Have to sell my motorcycles, etc...
A new stage in my life, for sure.
Do any members have amazon tree grape seeds please
whoa, thats a crazy lookin' flower
I believe the graft on on my Campbell is dying... It has held on for 9 to 10 months but is now loosing its color and the root stock is putting out. What are the chances of finding scion wood next year?
Catching these for sale on Lara Farms website is like trying to find Jimmy Hoffa...
Wow she has a lot of info. I will definitely binge her videosCan't you just cut the root off?
I don't know. It seems like a large major root. Perhaps it would be best to do it early spring as it is waking up?
Cherimoya Queen on YouTube has several videos of doing just that. She had the same issue, cut it off and it will be fine

Success never smelled so good! My first ever Tropical PinkI got only one fruit this year. Loved it. My Mexican guava is starting to send it's sweet fragrance around my garden. I need to pick it tomorrow or the darn squirrel will find it.

Wow, that fruit is perfection. Great job.QuoteWent to check on my Psidium Cauliflorum community pot and they are totally killing it.
Looking awesome. I think I waited too long on my cauliflorum seeds and none have sprouted. I did get a few "Amarela de Peru" going though, pretty stoked to see how those are fruit wise. Link to fruit photo: https://www.bellamytrees.com/sold-out-species/p/psidium-sp-goiaba-amarela-do-peru

I’d visit Arizona Fruit Trees in Maricopa
This place? https://maps.app.goo.gl/cRMwBJFHDiBSrzrWA
I have never made it out there. Its something I have been meaning to do.
There is also Tropica Mango not too far from there.
Congratulations!
