I had the same problem. I used a qtip to pollinate them. Quite a few of my flowers dried out and fell off but I was still left with a good amount of flowers and actually have 4 fruit growing. I would suggest making sure your tree is properly watered, I think that helped me. Also, I moved my guava from direct sunlight because I wasn't sure if it was gettIng to much sun and causing the drying
