Feijoa definitely not a vine, it's a stout bush.

My Tropical Pink Guava is flowering right now I think, for the first time. I’m 80% sure but its hard to tell. Is anyone else in the Valley of CA experiencing the same?
Im in zone 8b/9a and I lost a 12 year old Sabara in 17f freeze. 6 inch diameter trunk, 9ft tall. It was big and protected. Had some more frost hardy jabos I was able to protect better and move the pots but they also were bitten a bit. Folks are right, one hard snap at these lows and jabos are donezo.
Not exactly what I wanted to hear. Would it be possible if I dig it up at the first sign of trouble?
They are different in growth habit, and fruit. I have striatulum, I like it, good fruit with stinky guava flavor and soft flesh. It's definitely guajava-esque, but a more robust flavor which I am into. Other people have gotten bad genetics or something and say the fruit tastes bad. I count myself lucky.
The nano-leaf looks like guajava style fruit with some tiny leaves.
The "nana" looks like a dwarf guajava with standard leaves but small port.
So they're all different. Thanks for the clarification, K-Rimes. Do you happen to know if any of these are graft compatible with the typical guava?
Drought and Amazon are two words I would hope to never see in the same sentence.
Frightening.
Are you experimenting on any other rootstocks?
