This was helpful and interesting. I live in a subtropical area of Florida. I have two pink guavas and one ruby red. I think we will try to find a lemon guava. I think when you say Temperate it’s the same as the American term subtropical, warm most of the year but just a few occasional freezes.
Hey George loving your garden and so pleased you decided to plant another Ice Cream bean. Real life fruitopia wouldn’t be the same without one. Do you still have the Malaysia guava ?. Have you ever tried Chilean guava? Cheers Mark
Great video thanks George. My collection of guava is growing, they are such attractive trees as well as having yummy fruit. I must get a Thai guava next 😊
Thanks George for the video great stuff motivating us to progress on tropical fruit trees. Also the frangipani is easy to grow here apparently the white variety is the easiest here but I’ve seen massive multi coloured varieties planted in ground against brick walls.
I forgot to show the Amman and Starlings Guava in this video, but I'll do another update later. I've seen only one inground frangipani in Melbourne, definitely not common as in Sydney and Qld where they are planted almost everywhere.
@@RealLifeFruitopia I live in Melbourne George I’ve seen quite a few where I live in Epping very large size one planted against a northern brick wall. Ps: apparently the Amman guava variety is the same as Indian guava but a different name such as custard apple for atemoya. I could be wrong but I don’t know completely.
i live in zone 8b in Oregon and last month i finished eating the last of my strawberry guava, (from my greenhouse) they were sweet, took some seeds and put them in paper towel , they have sprouted already, so trying to see if they will grow descent plants
Its an amazing collection George, even if you did cheat by including the feijoas as they aren't true guavas botanically 😉. Glad you're counting like alyssa now 😂
Many of my viewers are in temperate zones so both types of guava are of interest. I forgot to film the Amman and Starlings tropical guavas in this video, I'm slipping.
@@RealLifeFruitopia hahaha I had a feeling you'd missed out a couple of your tropical ones mate 😂😂. Sorry it was just the qualified botanist in me coming out 😂. Obviously I love feijoas and have 8 different varieties myself, I was just pointing out that a pineapple 'guava' is not actually a guava of any type at all, apparently it gets it's common name because people think it tastes like a mix of pineapple and guava ( I'm not sure i can taste that in the ones I grow here ) and because the fruits look very similar to 'true' guavas ( this I do agree with ). Your tropical and subtropical guavas are all species of Psidium, your pineapple guavas / feijoas are botanically Acca Sellowiana. I shall continue to refer to them as pineapple guavas in my videos as I love the common name and everybody knows the fruit as that or feijoa, most people dont remember the botanical Latin name 😂 😁
Hiya. My Strawberry Guava grows very well, lots of flowers and fruits well but the fruit just wont ripen? Any tips on care of these to get them to produce better? Then towards end of the season the fruit all gets taken by our furry little friends Possums/rats whoever lol
My lemon guava has fruited for the first time this year can’t wait to try my strawberry guava Still another year away much smaller anyone on here have any suggestions of best tasting feijoas.
The Hawaiian Guavas grow like crazy here in Sydney. They come out very sweet.
Great video 👏👏👏👏

Temperate meaning the climate zones which lie between alpine and subtropical, which is where I am.
Hi George, after seeing the bungee cords saved your bananas from the storm, I got some for my trees.
Excellent!

I had a Malaysian guava die from winter cold, not sure if I'll try another. I've not tried Chilean or strawberry guava.

Wonderful idea!

Good luck!
I get -5C at my place and the feijoas laugh at it. Even the newly planted trees.

Maybe it needs fertilizer and more water , hard to say without seeing.

Still another year away much smaller anyone on here have any suggestions of best tasting feijoas.
There's alot of feijoa info on Daleys site. www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/feijoa.htm
