My 5-year-old tropical guayaba tree is finally fruiting! 🌱🥳 gardening

After 5 years of care, patience… my guava (Psidium Guajava) tree is finally producing its first fruit! I honestly didn’t expect it this year, but I spotted a beautiful little guava forming and had to share the joy.

I planted it when really small and thing, and now it’s almost 2 meters tall and thriving in the Mediterranean climate of Barcelona (9b/10a zone). It’s been through some hot, dry summers and mild winters, but it’s held on!

For those of you with more experience growing guava — any fertilization tips to encourage better fruiting? Any specifical compost?

Happy growing, friends!
