How and when to harvest Guava in the Home Gardening
Updated: Oct 6, 2021
Guava tree will take 2-3 years to mature and start to form fruits.
The guava tree blooms in early spring, but may bloom all year in mild climates
We need to prune and trim the guava tree regularly to encourage the growth of large, high-quality guava at the edges of the trees.
Keep the soil evenly moist for best fruit production; allow the top 2 or 3 inches of soil to dry before watering again.
If the soil goes completely dry, flowering may be delayed or fruit may drop. Reduce water in winter.
Guava fruit will be ripe and ready for harvest about 120 and 150 days after pruning the Guava trees
In warm year-round locations, guava can produce two crops each year, a large crop in summer followed by a smaller crop in winter.
