Guava can produce fruit during different seasons depending on the variety, climate, pruning practices, irrigation, and growing conditions.
Fruiting Time
Vegetatively propagated or grafted plants generally have earlier fruiting potential than seed-grown plants. Actual fruiting time depends on plant age, maturity, climate, nutrition, and care.
Growing L-49 Guava in a Pot
