Guava are plants in the genus Psidium of the family Myrtaceae. There are about 100 species of the tropical shrubs and small trees in the genus. They are native to Mexico, the Carbbean, central America and the northern part of South America.Now they are found in all the tropical and in some subtropical, regions because they are edible fruits.
Tree:
A mature guava tree can produce 40-70 Lbs of fruit per year. Even a patio tree kept 4-6 ft can give you plenty to enjoy and share trees can grow outdoors in zones 8-10, or indoors in colder areas. Just bring your potted tree indoors for the winter. It makes a great house plant. The guava is self-pollinating. Like most self-pollinating fruit trees, you will get even more production with a second one to cross-pollinate with.
