Pollination Info
Tropical White Guava Tree Pollination
Tropical White Guava Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Tropical White Guava Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Tropical White Guava Tree in well-draining soil and a sunny location, ensuring adequate spacing for its mature size. For containers, 15g to 25g in size is recommended for optimal production.
2. Watering: Water twice a week throughout the first growing season. Once established, rely on rainwater. For potted plants, water twice a week during the initial year, adjusting the frequency as the plant matures.
3. Fertilizing: Guava Trees have high nutrient needs and can benefit from a fruit tree fertilizer. We suggest a slow-release formula lasting 180 days. Apply during spring or fall following the instructions on the label.
4. Pruning: Prune to maintain shape, removing dead or diseased branches and encourage fruit production.
5. Pollination: The Tropical White Guava is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.
