This video describes how to successfully grow 5 different varieties of guavas in the desert of Arizona. It includes tips for growing in the soil as well as in container.
Love how all the plants are planted close together, you said they were planted 2 feet from the wall and planted 2 feet from each other for the guavas, is that the same for the fig tree how far apart did you plant the other trees from each other? On the other side of the guavas is that a pomegranate tree? I’m just trying to get an idea of how far apart I should plant my plants. I know my stone fruit and apples I will plant closer together, but not sure if I should plant everything that close. I’ve already planted a Barbados cherry and a fig tree A little over 4 feet apart.
Yes the fig tree is also within two feet of the guavas. In fact, all of our 60 plus trees are within two to three feet of each other and that helps in our harsh winters and summers. Yes, there are two pomegranate trees next the the guavas. The hummingbirds love the pomegranate trees!
Than you, I think I’m going to plant closer, Beautiful yard I look forward to seeing more Videos, I am a new fruit tree/ vegetable Gardener... I’m preparing my yard now:-)
They are cold hardy upto 32F (temps of the roots). You can grow them by having a good winter protection with lots of mulch (2-3ft in winter) and wrap around in cloth/blanket/burlap to retain the mulch in and around the trunk for a couple of feet
Hi!!! How are you doing? I love guavas and I like your trees. Do you think it is possible you could send me some seeds of your different guavas. I live in Tucson Az. Thank you for your video. Have a great day!!!
Very informational. How do the actual fruits compare for the varieties you’re growing? Did you protect them their first winter here in Phoenix? thanks
We have a open fence in the north side of the yard. Is it okay to plant guavas close to open fence?
As long as it gets 6-8 hours of full sun, it will do well.
Thank you 🙏🏼

In Las Vegas, we sometimes get to minus 5 degrees in winter. Can we grow guava?
