I am a guava cultivar producing medium-sized fruits with sweet pulp.

Native to India; LM‑49 is a locally selected variety for high yield.

Water weekly; drought-tolerant once mature.

Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily).

Thrives in 20–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant in sandy-loam soil; spacing 5–6 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months; supplement with zinc and boron.

Botanical name: Psidium guajava; Variety: LM‑49 (Desi Jamfal); Family: Myrtaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but hard.

Moderate; dense foliage reduces dust.

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

Susceptible to fruit fly, wilt, and anthracnose; prune for airflow and monitor regularly.

Can live 25–30 years; starts fruiting in 2–3 years; peak yield from year 6 onward.
