How and when to harvest Guava in the Home Gardening

• 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.

• Ripe guavas will develop mature light green as they ripen
