Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleyanum ) 10 Seeds
 
Strawberry guava is a prolific producer of plump deep purple berries, a bit larger than a cherry in size. They are sweet and juicy with a delicious strawberry aroma. A favourite in our household and with our kids who have been known to strip the whole bush bare in one sitting! They are highly nutritious, being an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, fibre, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, trace minerals and antioxidants. 
It is a pretty evergreen tree with glossy leaves and attractive bark. It’s as ornamental as it is productive and looks good year-round. Strawberry guava can be grown as a dense hedge or in an attractive tree form. It produces fluffy yellow-white flowers in the warmer seasons.  
Not cold-sensitive like many of the other more ‘tropical’ guavas, Strawberry guavas are very hardy and can handle mild frosts and temperatures down to -5°C (22°F).
It is drought-tolerant and even without any supplemental water in our blistering desert-like summers, it still looks good and produces an abundance of fruit. 
Being disease-free, there are no pests that bother it! The only thing in our garden that has nibbled on it before was a very hungry and desperate possum one year. But other than that nothing seems to touch it, which means more fruit for you!
Not fussy about soil types, it will happily grow in soils high in salt, sandy, clay soil and high pH limestone soils. It can tolerate almost anything you can throw at it. 
Fruits almost continuously over the warmer seasons, giving you a steady harvest over late spring / early summer to early winter. 
Early producer of fruit and will fruit in its second to third year, so great for impatient gardeners!
Finally, it grows happily in full sun and shade, yet still produces an abundance of fruit. Really useful for those dry shady positions in the lower canopy of a food forest. What’s not to love about this fruit!
