Sadly none of the other tropical guavas have flowered this year due to deteriorating too much last winter, it takes them months to recover each year, very frustrating 🙄
@@lyonheart84 yeah, mine has only really started recovering now lol 😂. I doubt it will make much progress in time for winter again 🙄. The cherry guavas seem to do much better indoors over winter and seem to grow more outside too over the summer months.
Congratulations Brett, you know know that your tropical guava is at a flowering age for your growing conditions. I am down to 1 tropical guava that is in the recovery mode from overwintering.
First one I've grown from seed myself that's produced a flower bud Mike. The problem is that all of the ones I've had that have previously flowered have not produced a single flower this year, as you said they are all in recovery mode 🤪
@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000 might possibly be 5 years old, I didn’t write a date on the label lol. Sadly although it might flower there is zero chance of ever getting a fruit without a proper heated greenhouse. My tropical guavas deteriorate so badly in winter they’d never keep hold of a fruit, it’s the age old problem with most tropicals here. None of my other specimens have flowered this summer because they were so badly set back last winter. Only the red and yellow strawberry guavas have a realistic chance of fruiting each year ( Psidium cattleianum )
@lyonheart84 I hope your purple guava flowers for you, apparently they have pink flowers, it would be fantastic if it did. Meanwhile I will have to source one from abroad, as my seed grown purple guava has bit the dust 😥 and the guava unrooted stem that had some green leaf shoots, they are now wilting and turning black, not a good sign☹️
I video them quite often, they have a lot of problems for me in Winter, huge pest infestations and heavy branch dieback, very difficult to keep alive and healthy, very frustrating 🙄
