How to plant guava trees in the farms

• Guava can be propagated by seed, branch cutting, grafting and air layering.

• For commercial cultivation, it is best grafted onto a established root-stock.

• The guava seedlings grow very fast if proper care is taken

• Successful Guava cultivation is grown under tropical and sub-tropical climate.

• In areas with distinct winter season, the yield tends to increase and quality improves.

• High temperature at the time of fruit development can cause fruit drop.

• Guavas can be planted at any time of the year, but the warmer months are better. 

• Plant them 2 to 3 metres from other trees and 5 metres from other guava trees.

• Dig a hole about twice the size of the bag in which the young tree is growing.
