I am a tropical fruit tree producing purple guavas.

Irrigate weekly; drought-tolerant once mature.

Requires full sun.

Thrives in 22–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months.

Botanical name: Psidium guajava (Purple cultivar); Family: Myrtaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but crunchy.

Fruits rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber; eaten fresh, juiced, or processed.
