Guava

The guava prefers a sunny, warm, and sheltered location in a tropical to subtropical climate. It is sensitive to frost and grows best with consistent warmth.

The soil should be loose, rich in humus, and well-drained. A slightly acidic to neutral pH value between approximately 5.0 and 7.0 is ideal; regular moisture is preferred, but waterlogging should be avoided.

The plant grows as a shrub or small tree, usually reaching 3 to 10 meters in height. It typically bears its first fruits after about 2 to 4 years under good conditions.
