Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil; ideally, plant your guava tree in spring. Space it about 10-15 feet from other plants to encourage proper airflow and avoid competition for nutrients.

2. Watering: Water young guava trees deeply once a week until established. After that, adjust according to rainfall—ensure the soil is moist but well-drained to avoid root rot.

3. Pruning: Trim your guava tree regularly to maintain its shape and encourage airflow. This helps prevent any disease and promotes healthy growth. Focus on thinning crowded areas and removing any dead or damaged branches.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer in the spring when new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage to provide essential nutrients that support a bountiful harvest.

5. Harvesting: Tikal guava are fast growers that can start producing at a young age, especially when grow in containers. In the ground, trees may need up to three years to establish their roots before they will focus on fruit production. Harvest when skin changes color and there is a slight give when pressed. Fruit will become more aromatic as it ripens.
