Hi, Barbie! Delicious Pink Fruit in One Year
Want to grow abundant guavas in just one year? Look no further than the Barbie Pink Guava! Whether grown in a pot or planted in the ground, this tree promises to bring a touch of the tropics to your garden, patio, or even indoors during colder months.
Within one season, your Barbie Pink Guava will produce bumpy, round-shaped fruit that’s yellowish-green on the outside and a captivating Barbie-pink on the inside. The fruit is both crisp and aromatic, offering a perfect blend of tartness and sweetness. Turn it into jam or add to your favorite desserts or smoothies.
As the Guava tree matures, its trunk reveals a copper-colored bark that regularly peels off, exposing shades of pink and green. Light pruning is recommended to establish a robust base and ensure ample support during the fruiting season.
Experience the joy of harvesting juicy guava fruit in your own backyard! These fast-growing trees thrive in full sun and well-draining soil with heavy production in the late summer and early fall. Grow your Barbie Pink Guava today!
Pollination Info
Barbie Pink Guava Tree Pollination
Barbie Pink Guava Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Barbie Pink Guava Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Find an area in your yard that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. Plant your Barbie Pink Guava in well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of your tree’s root ball and place inside the hole. Backfill with soil and water to establish. If planting in a container, make sure it has drainage holes.
2. Watering: When temperatures are higher, water at least once a week. If you’re unsure of when to water your Pink Guava, stick a finger at least two inches into the soil. If it’s dry, water the base.
Potted Guava Trees also likes to dry slightly in between waterings. If the top 2-3 inches of the soil feels like it’s starting to dry out, add just enough water to where you see it escaping the drainage holes and stop.
3. Fertilizing: To help establish your new Barbie Pink Guava, fertilize sparingly ten inches away from the base, three times a year with a slow-time released product.
4. Pruning: Prune the tree after harvesting in the winter. Ensure you’ve pruned all dead branches to ensure it can support ample food production next year.
5. Pollination: The Barbie Pink Guava is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.
