    Description

    Psidium guajava is an arborescent shrub or small tree, up to 33ft. high; leaves light green, finely pubescent and chartaceous; flowers white and fragrant; fruits green to light yellow, but in some varieties, red, varying in shape and size to a great extent; flesh creamish white to yellow and some red.Guava is often referred to as the apple of the tropics; it is a native of tropical America, probably from Mexico to Peru, and has long been naturalized in India.
    Many varieties are known in cultivation, but a detailed horticultural and systematic study of the species and its varieties are known in cultivation, but a detailed horticultural and systematic study of the species and its varieties is still lacking.  Sometimes two varieties are broadly distinguished, var. pyriferum and var. pomiferum based on the shape of the fruits, whether pear-shaped or globose and ovoid.  However, they are no longer accorded botanical standing.  P. guajava is closely similar to p. guineense and possibility of hybridization beween them seems likely, as they are highly variable with respect of fruit characters, and are also cultivated throughout the tropics.

    Do not allow the
    seeds
    to dry out. The
    seeds
    can then be sown after 6-8 weeks and should
    germinate
    normally in a safe, bright, cold place outdoors, and can take up to 6 months or even much longer so do not discard the
    seed
    pot.
    Cultivation
    The seeds of P. cerasoides have to be stratified. The stratification should be done early in the year. Therefore the seeds have to be put into the fridge for 2 to 3 month. After that treatment they should be put 1 or 2 days into warm water before planting. Then they can be finally put into the substrate. At a temperature of about 23°C and constant moist substrate, germination occurs after 2 to 12 weeks. The seeds of P. cerasoides can be very slow in germination, too. Sometimes it takes 18 months, until the first seedlings emerge.
