30 Pink Guava Seeds - Psidium guajava Guava trees, whether single or multi-trunked, typically grow to a height of up to 20 feet. They feature a broad, spreading or upright canopy and have a distinctive bark that is mottled in shades of greenish-brown to light brown, adding to their visual appeal. Pink guavas, a tropical variety of Psidium guajava, are renowned for their strikingly deep pink flesh. These guavas are among the most aromatic, with colors that can range from a soft pale pink to a vibrant orange-magenta. This coloration is attributed to carotenoids, natural pigments also found in carrots and tomatoes, which impart their vivid hues. To prepare guava seeds for planting, immerse them in water for two weeks to aid germination. Alternatively, a quicker method involves boiling the seeds in water for five minutes. Sow the seeds in late spring to early summer, allowing up to eight weeks for germination. Use a germinating medium composed of sand or a sand-topsoil blend, placing the seeds 1 to 1.5 inches apart and about 1/4 inch deep. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist during this period. Once seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots filled with clay loam soil and compost. For the final planting, select a site with rich, well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Space the guava trees at least 33 feet apart to ensure optimal fruit production, though they can be planted as close as 16 feet, which may reduce the yield. Guava trees thrive in temperatures between 73 and 82F.
