CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Guavas require well-draining soil and do best in tropical and sub-tropical areas. They are quite frost tender and will require protection from frost. Guavas have survived dry summers once established, they do best with regular deep watering, and should be allowed to dry to a depth of several inches before watering again. Lack of moisture will delay bloom and cause fruit to drop.
