guavas are like eating flowers, they are really really tasty. I would also recommend letting them get all the way ripe, it gets real soft and EXTREMELY sweet, they are completely ripe when they literally fall off the tree. I like them a lot that way, they just melt in your mouth
The tree is getting sweeter every year. Thus far I rate the fruit as medium sweet, 5/10 even when falling ripe on the ground. I've tried green guava in Thailand, the sweetness was 9/10!
Our family has always eaten them very soft as well. While watching you eat this guava? Reminded me of eating an apple or even a pear…. Do you eat these like that perhaps? Maybe the others are eaten soft and mushy…. That may help with my identification process as well…
Believe this may be the type of guava the growing but sadly I seem to miss eating the fruit as it’s my second home and the critters get them first. Unlike the fruit my mother used to make preserves which were pink inside. If I cut open the unripe fruit, will the color be pink, red or white prior to ripening? I believe that may also be a way to tell which one I’m growing. Thank you so much for the information that you shared. Enjoyed learning the difference. Also noticed your tree bark was peeling…mine does too. Do all Guava trees have this peeling type bark on the branches? That may help with the identification process I’m going through…. Thanks again
My well awaited video. Happy to see them ready to be picked. My one just two years old gave me around 40 fruits. Almost finished. Bought it as named indian white but have much bigger seeds and light pink flesh. I am wondering if i could ever get a cutting of your indian white. I know you tried cuttings with noy much luck. But i would try grafting if i get couple
@@RealLifeFruitopia i bought few guava varieties inspired by your videos and a great supporter and subscriber. Was happy to see you share your white sapote out to public. Thought would be harmless to ask couple of cuttings being a subscriber.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Aww I won't waste any of that beautiful tasty fruit. The core is soft and I suck the flesh through my teeth and filter the seeds with my teeth. Yummo 👍 I suppose what I should have said was don't try to chew the seeds.👍😊
I grew up in Linden. My Asian dad had a guava tree where I picked Giant pear shaped smooth skin guavas that had a Sweet creamy texture. The taste was like a creamy pineapple. I cannot seem to find that fruit no where else. As a kid I took a lot of things for granted. It appears that there are quite a lot of unique fruits that are not common. Google and you tube search brought me here. Hopefully someone has the very guava that I grew up eating. Great video here.
Hello brother George! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!I know that you like mangoes and I just tried a mango called sweet tai mango,that’s a incredible different taste that’s very different and I asure you it’s will make you buy a 🌲,good night!
I'd love to drop in for an in person tour one day. We just recently got our own place so I'm currently thinking of what fruit trees to put in the ground. Hard to decide when we only got limited space but I love the idea of tropicals that will survive our crazy Melbourne weather.
I have made many garden tour videos, both in winter and summer. The easiest tropicals for beginners in cooler climates are loquat, guava, white sapote, avocado, passionfruit and banana. Avocado require extra attention when planting.
If this is the Allahabadi variety, then you surely have gotten the sweetest Guava on the planet for yourself. Just chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two, the sugars would condense and make it even sweeter. All the best.
I hope it was true, but the guava you mention is pink flesh, mine is white. I will try to refrigerate it to see if it sweetens further, thanks for sharing!
@@RealLifeFruitopia Well, Allahabadi is a white pulp variety. It's considered the sweetest of all varieties known to man. Refrigerator actually condenses fructose and makes any fruit sweeter. Guava and citrus get the most sweet on refrigeration.
I grew a guava from seed that I believe is an extremely unique variety I have never found it online, its pink on the outside and white on the inside, and tastes absolutely amazing of all the guavas I've ever had it was the best, sweet, perfect texture, large, I wish I had propagated it thats my only regret, I did a taste test twice on my channel
Looks awesome, so much fruit. I'm getting heaps of flowers on my lemon guava and my Mexican Cream still has one bit of fruit hanging on so hopefully I will be tasting my first guava soon. Only had pink guava juice and recently pineapple guava from the local fruit shop
I got a got a cutting grown pink guava from Dayleys that turned out to be a “white guava” that I think might be a Indian guava. Still annoyed as it was meant to be a Hawaiian pink. It’s still nice though and I still have a Ruby supreme that grew really fast.
Try a semi ripe guava, which would be light greenish. no yellow at all, slice it into 6 long pieces and sprinkle some salt and paprika and you will never eat a ripe one again !
I think custard apples might be a better example of an overly sweet fruit. I wonder if you left that guava a little longer it would be sweeter. All the guavas I’ve tasted are quite sweet, leave that tree a little longer and it should sweeten. Not sure why Fejoias were included as they are not related to guavas. I have a pink and an Indian in my new house in the subtropics so I am very keen to try them when they fruit. I planted 25 Fejoias to act as an edible hedge.
They do get a tinge sweeter if left on to drop stage but some began to ferment by then. The reason I mentioned Feijoa is because some growers in cool temperate zones might not be familiar with or can't grow tropical varieties, so the comparison. I have mature fruiting white and pink varieties, first Mexican Cream tasting coming soon.

I eat the Indian white ones hard like they do in Asia, mixing them into fruit salads.

All guava types i have peel, some more than others. The Indian is green, turning white inside before ripening. Thanks for sharing 👍
Looks and sounds delicious,nice review George
Thanks 👍
Indian guava tree looks good, the fruit looks yummy too.
Yes delicious fruit and a good feeling in winter

I picked up my Indian White from Bunnings 7 years ago, I still often see it there in Summer. I don't share cuttings or seeds.

Nice video mate. White guavas are one of my favorites too the only thing that is negative are the seeds they're like steel ball bearings. 😂 Cheers
Totally agree regarding the seeds, I just eat around the inner core to avoid the seeds.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Aww I won't waste any of that beautiful tasty fruit. The core is soft and I suck the flesh through my teeth and filter the seeds with my teeth. Yummo 👍 I suppose what I should have said was don't try to chew the seeds.👍😊
Great to see it cropping well George, not a variety of guava plant available here.....
It won't like consistent sub freezing temperatures, it's why I used the comparison with Feijoa aka Pineapple Guava.
I grew up with guavas. We had the large white one and the pink flesh one as a kid. The pink ones grow wild in the environment.
Lucky you! I didn't taste my first guava till my 40's.

I have a young China Pear Guava which is yet to fruit. I hope it's as creamy as what you described.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Hopefully you can update me, I hope that is the fruit I am looking for. I will research that name.
Also Guava taste like a tropical pear “musky” that’s how I describe them. We are having a cold winter this year, hope your garden is doing well.
I don't recall not having a cold winter..frosty, foggy and damp as usual.

do we need to protect from frost
Yes, for the first winter.
I love this guava tree , already giving full size guava
It's 10 years old.

This Guava is quite close in resemblance to the Giant smooth pear guava that I was looking for.
Where are you in Guyana?

Interesting! I'm yet to taste four new varieties currently growing in pots.
I like your description of the taste and I love guavas But I can't eat them without having trouble with the seeds
When used in salad or juice I cut the fruit in slices and discard the seeds. Slice in half and spoon out the seeds. No other fruit tastes like it.
Cannot find indian guava in orlando fl would you know wherw i could order 1
Maybe Lowes big box stores.
Thanks
one more question is it called indian guava at store or is it called by another name thanks.
Looks awesome, so much fruit. I'm getting heaps of flowers on my lemon guava and my Mexican Cream still has one bit of fruit hanging on so hopefully I will be tasting my first guava soon. Only had pink guava juice and recently pineapple guava from the local fruit shop
After the third year they produce heavily, no more shopping for juice!
@@RealLifeFruitopia haha, good to know, thanks mate
It goes without saying that the leaves of Guaba (or guava) are used in medicine to regulate diabetes. highly effective
the leaves boil into infusion, in the shape of a Tea
I have drunk guava leaf tea, it's delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Guavas are pretty good but I don’t like the seeds getting in the way
I’ve found unripe Guavas are more easier to eat as the seeds are softer. It might not be as sweet but I like it a little sour and sweet
This one is terribly sour if not ripe. I simply bite around the inner core avoiding most of the seeds.
Thank you
Welcome!
There is a variety of guava named " behat coconut" which do not have seeds in them
Nice, I have a seedless variety called Starling.
I am trying to grow one here in South Jersey Zone 7a. Pineapple Guava.
Easily done in a container!
I got a got a cutting grown pink guava from Dayleys that turned out to be a “white guava” that I think might be a Indian guava. Still annoyed as it was meant to be a Hawaiian pink. It’s still nice though and I still have a Ruby supreme that grew really fast.
My Indian white might be different too, some tell me it's an Amman guava. Mix ups happen sometimes.
If you ever sell your excess fruit, plesiosaur let me know, happy to buy 😀
Ok
I have had people tell me that they thought all fruits were sweet. But that’s just not true.
I've grown to appreciate sour fruit over the years thanks to gardening and trying new fruits on our travels.
Try a semi ripe guava, which would be light greenish. no yellow at all, slice it into 6 long pieces and sprinkle some salt and paprika and you will never eat a ripe one again !
Thanks for the tip!
Eating 2 Guava fruits fasting for 5 days helps fight intestinal parasites
Good tip, thanks!
Are they all oval shape.? Sure it's not Aman Guava?. My Indian guava is round and sweet...
Pretty sure it's Indian, was labeled as such. Mine has sweetened over the last 2 years, love it more now. Initially it had almost no sweetness at all.
I think in sydney and brisbane tropical do much better than melbourne
Pear/Passionfruit tasting
No pears atm, will be looking to buy Nashi in spring.
@@RealLifeFruitopia sweet Nashis are great, I just meant that's what the guava tastes like to me, a combination of pear an dpassionfruit
Mouth watering 🤤 give me some 😃
😋
How old is your tree? and what do you add to potting mix?
Don't eat any of the seeds, they can be stuck in your stomach and surgery may be needed. Happens to my cousin already.
I m willing to give you $500 just for that guava tree
Thanks. Not for sale.
