Timing can vary a lot because it depends on the plant’s age, variety, and your growing conditions. On this page you’ll see a mix of young starter plugs (often 4–10 inches tall), small potted plants (4-inch pots, 1-gallon), and larger plants (up to 3-gallon, some air-layered). Starters generally need more time to mature than larger, established plants.

• Check the listing details: Look for notes on age (e.g., seedling vs. air-layered) and size.
• Give strong light: Many listings cite full sun to part sun.
• Support healthy growth: Use well-draining soil and water consistently while the plant establishes.

With the right care and conditions, fruiting typically follows after the plant settles in and gains size, but timelines can vary.

Pick a bright, well-drained spot and match the variety to your climate. Many tropical guavas are described for warmer areas (some listings note zones 9–11) and do best in full sun to part sun. Pineapple guava (feijoa) is often noted as drought-tolerant, but it still benefits from regular water while establishing.

• Warm climates: Plant in-ground in a sunny, protected location.
• Cooler climates: Consider containers so you can move plants to shelter during cold snaps.
• Soil: Aim for good drainage to reduce stress on roots.

Since sun exposure and cold tolerance differ by item, review the specific product’s description for its recommended conditions before planting.

Container growing is a popular option here—many listings note plants suited for indoor/outdoor or patio use. A simple setup can support healthy growth without overcomplicating care.

• Pot & mix: Use a container with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.
• Light: Place in full sun to part sun (bright light helps vigor and flowering).
• Water: Water deeply, then allow the top of the mix to dry slightly before watering again; adjust with season and pot size.
• Space to grow: Up-pot gradually as roots fill the container.
• Cold snaps: In cooler zones, move containers to a protected spot when temperatures drop.

Review each item’s care notes, as needs can vary by variety and plant size.

Sizes vary by listing, so it’s best to check each item’s description for exact details. On this page, you’ll find:

• Starter plugs and small plants: Often listed around 4–6 inches or 5–9 inches tall, sometimes bare-root.
• Potted plants: Common pot sizes include 4-inch, 1-gallon, and 3-gallon, with heights noted in the description (some are much taller).
• Variety notes: Some items specify propagation (e.g., air-layered) and age, which can influence maturity.

Look for height range, pot size, and whether the plant ships potted or bare-root under the item’s specifications. Delivery availability and state restrictions (occasionally noted on certain listings) can also vary by seller and your address.

These options offer different plant types and looks, and choosing one often comes down to flavor preference, hardiness, and garden style. Based on our listings:

• Pink guava (Psidium guajava): Typically grown for sweet, edible fruit; many items mention fragrant plants.
• White guava (Psidium guajava): Also noted for sweet, edible fruit; similar growth habit with lighter flesh.
• Pineapple guava (Feijoa sellowiana): Features edible flowers and fruit and is often described as drought-tolerant and an evergreen shrub.

Cold tolerance and sun needs can vary; some tropical guavas are listed for zones 9–11, while pineapple guava is frequently highlighted for resilience. Check the specific product page for care, size, and climate guidance.
