Re: Guava
When I bought this it was labeled as a Giant Cuban Guava, the ripe fruit are yellow and baseball size. The tree is about 30 foot tall and the trunk has a 16 inch circumference. The guava is the hardest softwood tree I have worked with, and the wood has many uses.

Re: Guava
I have a guava tree that was already in the yard of the new house.. it is probably around 10 y/o. Didn't get photos of flowers and fruit, but the friut was full of worms... really bad. I think it was neglected for years just like the orange tree that is also in the back yard. Birds loved the guava, so it will be good to attract wildlife if nothing else.

Re: Guava
Thanks Dmangologist... maybe I'll try that next year. It was a shame b/c there really wasn't even one fruit that was edible on the whole tree.

Re: Guava
Some of the commercial guys will bag their fruit. It is time consuming, but will save your fruit from attack.

Re: Guava
Good suggestion Nicolas. Do you think that netting the tree ( mine is fairly compact ) after blooming would keep the flies off or are the flies small enough to get in there or under it? Would be easier than bagging, but timing would be critical.

Re: Guava
It would have to be pretty thin netting, perhaps 1/16 inch.

Re: Guava
I have several guava trees, most too large for netting. Last year I found a new product on line called Surround, which is a parafin based powder. You mix with water and spray a couple of times before color or indication of ripening. It coats the guava and is reasonably effective in preventing fruit fly damage. Fruit fly are not that tiny.

Re: Guava
Wow, I thought you guys were joking. I've never had that problem with any fruit.
Sounds like all the Caribbean fruit flies went to Florida. Just looked at a photo, that's one ugly bug and I'm glad we don't have them.
