How to grow Strawberry Guava + Taste test | Backyard Foodforest | Delicious, hardy and disease-free!

Published 2022-04-17
Strawberry Guava is one of our favourite fruits to grow - it’s drought-tolerant, disease-resistant and delicious. One of the toughest fruits in our foodforest, yet produces delicious fruit with a delicate strawberry flavour.

A wonderful addition to the tricky dry shade positions in the lower-canopy of a food forest. Did you know both the fruit and leaves are edible? Watch our video tutorial below to see how we grow ours in our Foodforest including a harvest and taste test.

    Hi I live in Kentucky, USA, zone 7A. Burning hot summers and freezing cold Winters. Will these grow here? I just found your videos tonight and I love them, they're so informative, you're so pleasant. God bless you Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🇺🇸🌿❣️

    I have the lemon guava tree. It’s a very hardy fruit tree. It’s the second year in ground and it gives me lots of fruit. I’m in zone 9A Texas and it does very well in my yard. Mine gets plenty of direct sunlight.

    :D I ate a lot of those in my life. They are native to Brazil. The Tupi (one of the natives languages) name is "Araçá" (abundant fruit) and sone variations could be "fruit with eyes".

    I just bought a baby strawberry guava, this video has made me excited. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Thanks sooooo much. I have one in a pot, deciding where to plant it, first thought was a stand alone tree in the paddock between me and my messy neighbour, now I'm going to plant two trees in that space, one is a mulberry and the second will be my strawberry guava as an understory.
  • Thank you so much. This video has sold me on my research when buying one from our local farmer at Noble Roots in Eustis, Florida

    I planted 3 plants here in Jamaica 6 months ago. Hopefully, I can get fruit in another year. Thank you for your video.

    Coming from (cooler) New Zealand I enjoyed your depiction of Melbourne as temperate to cool temperate! Great video.
  • I have a strawberry guava tree in my back yard they taste delicious, but they are native to Brazil cause when I was in Mexico I never saw one of those types of guavas only the green sower ones which are green in color.

    Thanks Jian, we have one of these in a pot but I wasn’t sure what it produced as we haven’t seen any fruit yet. I will give it some more attention 👍🏻
