If you slice them and leave them in a bowl of milk and a bit of sugar in the fridge overnight you will get a wonderful treat the next day, they turn the milk into a yogurt after about 3 hours. It's one of the best foods i've ever had! I just bought 2 trees and i'm hoping they thrive like they did where i grew up.
I am glad you changed your mind about the taste! The more you let them ripe on the tree, the better they taste. Try cutting only the ones that come out just by giving them a push... they are really sweet. You can tell they are that sweet by the colour. The darkest, the sweetest!
They also have a yellow variety larger and better.The yellow variety taste kinda like lemons and guavas.You should try growing the yellow variety but its rare and you can buy seeds or plants online.
Cool, I never knew that there were red guavas! I grew up in the Caribbean and while I am familiar with other types I never knew there were red ones. Thanks for sharing.
Where I live, which is in Guildford, Southern England, the lowest temperature is typically around -3/-4 C in the winter (although on a mild winter's day, the temperature can reach 10-12 C). The temperature can reach maximum of 28-32 C in the height of summer. However, the British weather is living up to its fickle nature, since our 'summer' this year has been nothing but torrential monsoon-like downpours, with daytime temperatures barely nudging 19/20 C! Do you ever get snow in your part of NZL?
Hi, I recently moved to NZ and we absolutely love the strawberry guava. We would love to grow our own. What time of year would we try to plant some from seed? Do we need to take the seeds and dry them first? Will they grow in pots since we are renting?
How would you describe your climate? Warm temperate? I wish I could grow grapefruit, feijoas and tamarillos outside in England! I'm going to try growing guava indoors as an exotic houseplant. If I'm lucky, it might even produce fruit. Have your mangosteens germinated yet? My seeds have been in compost for 5 weeks, yet there's no sign of germination.
This looks exactly like Red Strawberry Cattley guava. Aren't they the same? They come in Yellow Lemon Cattley guava also. Cold hardy to around 25 F, I would estimate. I grow both in NW FL. The Red has stronger flavor than the yellow does.
Sure, I have no doubt that a subtropical species would be able to survive outdoors in the UK from May until September, but from late autumn to early spring we can get heavy ground frosts. In winter we sometimes get several cms of snow if the winds are blowing down from Siberia. I take it that you live in the volcanic North Island, where the climate is relatively mild compared to the South? I have seen those forests of huge tree ferns on Man Versus Wild (Bear Grylls). Truly impressive landscape!
Ditto. I am actually trying to grow this tree from seeds... I don't even know if it's possible (just started the process a couple of days ago). I also started growing soursop (guanabana) from seed... by accident! You should try growing them, they are so pretty when they sprout. I'll send you some photos to your FB page.
we have three strawberry, one lemon (fantastic), one Malaysian (amazing) and one red guava--we LOVE THEM!!!!! Can't grow enough of them and they usually fruit in one to two years if big enough.
Great video! I've never seen nor heard of red guavas so thanks for sharing. My gram has a guava tree that produces yellow-green fruit with red flesh :)
Ugh my youtube is so slow. I love fruits so much. There are thousands out there on this planet that i havent eaten. It excites me. Ive only tried the Apple guava
How to start from seeds? Plant whole fruit or seperate seeds? Do seeds need dried? Soak seeds? Do they need cold stratified? Can you send me any seeds. Please?
Hey, you can just clean the seeds off and sow them. They are pretty easy to grow from seed. Often the seedlings just naturally pop up under the tree. Sorry, I don't have any seeds at the moment :)
I really really really hate cherry guavas or strawberry guavas. My family has a white guava that has a much better taste, it is something like a mild apple taste. It is about 10 feet tall or taller at the moment and produces loads of guavas.
Very nice, I will get some for seeding, I live in Argentina but, near here, at Uruguay, the government and some companies are beginning to produce this fruit massively, along with acca sellowiana, Pitanga (Surinam cherry) and Guaviyú. They say that next summer and will arazá jams (Psidium cattleianum or strawberry guava) and feijoa (Acca sellowiana) on supermarket shelves.

we had this tree in Bangalore... unfamiliar that tree dried while we constructing our new house in 2009...want those trees to plant it back... please help me to grow it back by sending the seeds if you have..

Aquarella how are your trees now? :) hope they are doing well
This is so interesting to hear of, just now..is it really that simple?
Ohhh wow! My tree is flowering for the first time atm, hoping to try this when I have some fruit :)

Another interesting fruit! thanks for sharing Kalem!

lucky
Yes, they grow fine in a large pot. As above, they are restricted Auckland and further north. You can buy small plants from bunnings for about $8.

Great video! We have a wild one growing in our backyard. Love it.

I think they are the same. It's called Strawberry Guava in the US and Cherry Guava in some other parts of the world like UK and Australia.
I have them in my backyard; they taste delicious 😋
Interesting tree. I'll look into it since it's pretty cold hardy.
Is that the same thing as strawberry guava? Thanks
Yep :)
can you make a video on how to grow those red cherry guavas from seed?

I did it. It works well. :-)
Could you please do an update? How do you prune it? I’ve got one and I would like to keep it relatively small.
How many years does it take for the red Cherry Guava to produce fruit, when it is grown from seeds? I live in sub-tropical climate.
Have you ever had lemon guava ?
we have three strawberry, one lemon (fantastic), one Malaysian (amazing) and one red guava--we LOVE THEM!!!!! Can't grow enough of them and they usually fruit in one to two years if big enough.
I wonder whether the hard seeds help digestion as well as clean the digestive tract. Try yellow ones instead.
The riper they are, the sweeter they are. Sometimes I actually wait for them to drop to eat them.
Oh and the yellow variety its called "Lemon Guava"
I have the yellow one of these trees and I would like to know if we can use these Guava leaves to make Guava tea?
Great video! I've never seen nor heard of red guavas so thanks for sharing. My gram has a guava tree that produces yellow-green fruit with red flesh :)

+Michael Charles There maybe restrictions on sending seeds to another country.
Ask your friend or relative pack the seeds through a tiny hole in a bag of candies.
How to start from seeds?

Di indonesia kaya nya ngga ada buah kya bgtu ckck. Jadi pengen nyoba buah itu deh hihi
Could you send me some seeds
+Jay Kinell Where do you live?
I am from India can u send me guava seeds
I'm in florida
Ok
You have to look as they get grubs in them that are very hard to see.
Theres nothing worse than an unripened fruit. That goes for most fruits. The sun rings out the flavors nd sugars
those look like strawberry guavas
we had this tree in Bangalore... unfamiliar that tree dried while we constructing our new house in 2009...want those trees to plant it back... please help me to grow it back by sending the seeds if you have..
If only it could handle -40C... :(
Dude even a human wouldnt handle this.
I'm not sure how you could not like a ripe cherry guava...
"Seeds shnmeeeds"
