Taiwan Pink Guava Amrood Grafted Live Fruit Plant (Height 1.5-2 Feet)

Product Description

Taiwan Pink Guava (Amrood) is a fantastic variety, known for its fragrant, sweet, and tangy flavor. The grafted live plant you’re referring to (with a height of 1.5-2 feet) is a great option for faster fruit production and stronger plant growth.

Key Features:

• Variety: The Taiwan Pink Guava is famous for its vibrant pink flesh, which is sweeter and juicier than many other guava varieties. The fruit also has a smooth, aromatic skin with a mildly sweet and tangy flavor that is loved in both fresh and processed forms (juices, jams, etc.).
• Grafted: Grafting helps the plant produce fruit earlier, usually within 1-2 years compared to seed-grown guavas, which can take much longer. Grafted plants are also more resistant to diseases and environmental stresses, ensuring healthy growth.
• Height: This young plant is between 1.5-2 feet tall. As it matures, it will grow into a small tree that can reach 6-10 feet in height, making it suitable for small gardens or even pots.

Growing Conditions:

• Climate: Taiwan Pink Guava plants thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, but they can also be grown in temperate regions if protected from frost. If you’re in a cooler area, growing the guava in a pot allows you to move it indoors during colder months.
• Sunlight: Guava trees love full sun, so they should be planted in a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Guava plants prefer well-draining soil that’s slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6-7). Adding organic matter or compost can help improve the soil’s drainage and fertility.
• Watering: While guavas need regular watering, they don’t like standing water. The soil should remain consistently moist, but not soggy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Care Tips:

• Fertilization: To promote strong growth and fruiting, fertilize your guava tree every 6-8 weeks with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or one high in potassium and phosphorus to encourage flowering and fruiting.
• Pruning: Regular pruning helps keep the tree compact and healthy. Prune dead or damaged branches and thin out the canopy to allow better light penetration and airflow.
• Support: Guava trees don’t need significant support, but when the tree starts fruiting, it may need some additional support if the branches become heavy with fruit.

Flowering & Fruit Production:

• Flowering: Guava trees generally flower in the late spring or early summer. The flowers are small, white, and fragrant, attracting bees and other pollinators.
• Fruiting: Once the tree flowers, it usually takes about 3-4 months for the fruit to mature. The pink guavas will ripen to a bright pink or reddish color. You’ll know they’re ready when they have a slight give when gently pressed and a fragrant aroma.

Additional Tips:

• Pollination: Most guava varieties, including the Taiwan Pink, are self-pollinating. However, having multiple trees can improve fruit production and quality.
• Pests & Diseases: While guava trees are generally hardy, they can occasionally be susceptible to aphids, fruit flies, and fungal diseases. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
