About This Variety

Meet This Variety

Guava Fruit Tree Seeds are for Psidium guajava, a tropical shrub or small tree grown from seed in warm conditions. Start seeds in a well-drained medium and provide bright light as seedlings establish.

Use a protected, frost-free growing position and give young plants steady moisture without waterlogging the root zone. Seed-grown guava is a long-term home garden project, not a promise of cultivar-specific fruit traits.

A tropical seed-starting project for warm, protected growing.
