gnappi, did you ever get fruit to maturity?
My rollinia is finally setting some fruits and has a ton of flowers now. I'm still fighting
There are many in 10a here in Florida. Some older ones decently productive, but for the most part don't take the cold well. In my experience they need plenty of regular nutrition and irrigation.
Are the trees between others getting a lot of sun or filtered light?
Lots of sun because everything is still young. My strategy was to overplant and let the trees compete.>>SNIP<<
Here in Florida I've only ever seen Ruby X Supreme guava at Lowe's. Maybe some other nursery suppliers are bringing in other varieties for them to sell, but at a big box store you are generally going to get the more universal options.
For 11 bucks, I would take a shot. Guava grows fast and fruits fast so I treat them like temporary trees anyway. They are dotted in between my bigger trees so I can get some fruit while I wait for my mangoes to grow. It also helps that I really like guava.
