Generally guavas grow in areas not conducive to mushrooms popping up. It just indicates high humidity and low light conditions, but not disease. It will love being out doors in dappled sun at first then increase the amount of sun it receives.

Here's mine in a pot. I need to re-pot it and prune as well. It has a few burnt tips from drying out and falling over.

No buds yet. Do you think I should cut it back, Tony?

The guava I got for my wife has been flowering for the last week or so with many more to come. The problem is the flowers open dry out after about 2 and then fall off about a week later or sooner if I touch them. I have even been brushing the flowers with a small paint brush trying to increase pollination. Any Ideas?

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

The ones I have are outdoors and they flower practically year-round, but whether they set fruit or not seems to be seasonal. Flowers produced in late winter - early spring don't seem to set fruit, for whatever reason.

I will try that and see if it helps.

Are yours setting fruit now? If so I wonder why mine aren't maybe I will make sure it is watered enough. It seems fine as far as watering is concerned though, no stress at all.

My strawberry (Cattley) guavas are now setting fruit. My neighbor's tropical guava is flowering but not setting fruit.
