Guava ‘Strawberry’ NEW

Description: Strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum), sometimes called cattley guava, is a small, hardy fruit tree originally from Brazil. It produces round, red fruit about the size of a cherry, with a sweet, tangy flavour often compared to strawberries. The tree has glossy evergreen leaves and small white flowers that give off a pleasant scent. It grows well in warm areas and can handle dry conditions or light frosts once it’s established. Because of its dense foliage, it’s often used as a hedge or in mixed plantings for permaculture gardens. The fruit is full of vitamin C and antioxidants and can be enjoyed fresh or used in jams, juices, and desserts.
