Guava is a tropical fruit that is easy to grow and requires little maintenance. The best time to plant guava is in the spring, and it grows best in well-drained soil with a pH between 4.5 and 7.0. Guava trees can grow up to 30 feet tall, but they can be pruned to a smaller size.
Guava trees need full sun and regular watering, especially during the dry season. Fertilization is also necessary, and it is recommended to use a balanced fertilizer every three months. Guava fruit takes around four to six months to ripen, and it is best to harvest it when it is fully matured.
