I am amazed with the varieties of tropical fruit trees you have success with in your temperate zone. Do you think it is possible to grow them in NW Melbourne where there is drier climatic conditions?
Great comparison George. After doing some research I went and bought the Mexican cream and all your reviews on it have reported it to be average. I hope it improves as it ages because everything I’ve found says it’s amazing. That being said I’m sure that the other reviews were in the correct climate
Enjoyable to see your comparison even though I'll never get them to fruit here. They really need a heated conservatory or greenhouse here to have a chance of fruiting 🙄
I really dont understand people who eat crunchy, unripe guavas. They are pretty tasty. I let mine ripen fully, and theu are some of the best fruit you can have!
What’s your thoughts on Linda Avocados 🥑 ? I have just bought one is supposed to be like the Reed Avocado. It also is B Type which will go with my Sir Prize Mexican type which is also B type hoping they go well with A Type that I have in Mexicola , Lamb Hass and Nabel which is the next Avocado 🥑 I want to get. Fruitful Trees Chanel had a good video a few day ago on Avocado’s tasting over there in Florida and the Avocado thats new they were talking about best on taste sounds good but sounds like it going to be hard to buy trees over there other than get some into Australia due to demand. I hope Linda Avocado will be good ?
The brown bit at the bottom of the guava is the dead/spent flower. The base of the flower swells to create the fruit, then the flower dies. But for some fruit that part drops off. Evidently not for the Guavas.
👍🌿🥭 with the seedling guava from what I read about it is it does not stay Seedless if you have other Guava’s in the area ? I didn’t get that Guava for that reason. I here you loud and clear with the Birds and other pests like Rats 🐀 as I believe I have one in the area thats going to cause me trouble when fruit arrives if I don’t kill it or the Dogs 🐕 get it first ? How is the Abiu going? Mine have die back but I’m hoping being seedings when I take the protection off at end of September they may come back ? My Guava’s are mostly in the greenhouse which I’m looking at putting into the ground outside this season I do have 2 outside alive gone through winter that’s the purple guava one In the ground and another in a grow bag on the deck both going well but 1st year trees 🌴 my lose this winter was my Pickering Mango 🥭 which I’m upset about as I want this Mango so will try again in the greenhouse this time. I did what you said with the Glen Mango and it looks the best out of all my Mangoes it seems to do best in Melbourne the Glen mango. 👍 I have 3 very young Jackfruit Trees Black Gold , sunshine crunch and Duranbanh Jackfruit I would like to get the Honey Gold Jackfruit that would complete the Jackfruit collection ? I happy about Acer roller that looks like it may work for me this season ? As I have had bad luck with that in the past. Looks good at the moment but September is a dangerous month of plants dieing I will wait and see if I can keep it going well as you have done with yours in the success of that ? 👍
So far, peeking inder the covers, I've lost the soursop, Valencia pride mango and star apple. I'll be uncovering most of the troublesome tropicals once the lows are no longer under 10C, probable the last week of September or the first week in October. I'm guessing that I'll be losing another mango and some yellow papaya. They'll be thanking us in the decades to come for trying what previous generations never imagined doing.
Whats the trick with tropical guavas? In my case they just grow and grow leaves and branches but no fruit! I am in a warm subtropical area so that should not be a problem. I noticed your trees have fewer branches than mine... should I just prune the hell out of them?
I'm always available to help you consume the pink variety of guavas. The tail I believe is the remains of the flower bud/stoma after successful polination.
Thanks for the video, but no smell comparison? Cause for guavas smell is also one of the important characters, and for some guava varieties no smell means not ripe yet.
There's an Indian cultivar known as "Allahabadi". It's soft as a custard and perhaps the sweetest guava there is on this planet. Almost every 5-6th house in India has it, and it has the sweetest fruit with a unique aroma of its own, not fibrous, just feels like soft butter. Try to graft it on one of your guava plants, you'd never regret growing it.
@@abc_cba The Allahabad guava you're familiar with is red skin or green/yellow skin? Red flesh or white flesh? On the Internet there are both red skin and green/yellow skin guavas as well as red flesh and white flesh guavas called Allahabad guava. So it's confusing what the exact sweetest Allahabad guava should be - red skin or green/yellow skin? red flesh or white flesh?
@@juliuszhu2594 Allahabadi Guava is green from the outside turns light yellow when ripe. It's aalways white in the inside. My observation is pink guavas are never as sweet not do they have that sweet profile as white cultivars.
You evidently didn't watch all the way. I showcased my tropical guavas with a taste comparison, proving that even with Melbourne's cold winter, they can still be grown!
I like those comparison videos. Very nice! and of course, it's always nice to see harvesting and tasting videos! 😄
Glad you like them!
@@RealLifeFruitopia thank you! :D
Thanks for sharing, the little tail on the guava and similar on the persimmon I believe is the old flowers.
That's it!
I am amazed with the varieties of tropical fruit trees you have success with in your temperate zone. Do you think it is possible to grow them in NW Melbourne where there is drier climatic conditions?
Yes, possible. Extra mulch and water in summer. Frost cloths in winter for young tropicals.

Tropical guava needs heat and sun for optimal flavour, but because they ripen over winter in Melbourne, they'll be missing the mark.
@@RealLifeFruitopia yea I hope as it matures it improves. If it’s half as good as the reviews it will be amazing
Enjoyable to see your comparison even though I'll never get them to fruit here. They really need a heated conservatory or greenhouse here to have a chance of fruiting 🙄
Yes, tropical guava requires heat and sun, neither of which Melbourne has in winter, therefore average tasting.
❤What a Beautiful Fruit Garden❤
Thanks! 👍

They can be eaten as a vegetable when unripe, either raw or cooked, like green mango and jackfruit.

Linda is available here at speciality nurseries. I'm out of room for it and other avocados. I miss my lamb hass, the best tasting one I had.
Thanks for the video may I ask where u buy your guava trees?
Some from Daleys, others from local nurseries.
Thought you had Brazilian guava. The best of all.
I read it was bland. Can you share a video on yours?
@@RealLifeFruitopia I have a one year old plant barely alive.
The black thing at the end of the guava fruit is the sepal of the flower (which formed the fruit) 👍
Thanks 👍
@@RealLifeFruitopia I believe it is the calyx, which is a group of sepals
Overabundance shouldn't be a problem if share the fruits with everyone 😊
We have shared a lot over the years with our Asian friends who grew up with rare tropical fruits in childhood.
Can you tell me where you buy yr guava trees from, thanks.
Daleys online nursery
Red spots are normal on authentic Mexican Cream guavas
Cool

Very very nice guava
Thanks for watching!

Cut back one third of each tree during dormancy. Apply potassium when it flowers, water well.

Thanks for offering.
has your jujube tree come out of dormancy yet?
I haven't checked
Thanks for the video, but no smell comparison? Cause for guavas smell is also one of the important characters, and for some guava varieties no smell means not ripe yet.
They each had that distinctive guava smell, some fruitier than others. I'll add that aspect to the next comparison video.
I'd love to have all those trees srrounding my home, probably makes it very private feeling, no one can see in your home.
Right!

You should stick to growing Fejoa instead of guava in that miserable climate

@@RealLifeFruitopia I know guavas grow in Melbourne but not like they do up here in the far north. Horses for courses mate.
