Growing Zones & Care Guide

• USDA Hardiness Zones: Best planted in the ground in Zones 911. Ruby Supreme Guava thrives in warm, frost-free climates and is sensitive to freezing temperatures. Established trees can tolerate brief dips to around 2830F but should be protected from hard freezes.
• Zones 48 (Container Growing): Grow in a 1525 gallon container and move indoors before temperatures drop below 40F. A bright south-facing window or supplemental grow light keeps it productive through cooler months.
• Sunlight: Full sun 68 hours of direct sunlight daily for best fruit production and flavor. Tolerates partial shade but yields fewer fruits.
• Watering: Water regularly during the growing season and fruit development. Once established, guava is relatively drought-tolerant allow the top 23 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of soils sandy, loamy, or clay as long as drainage is good. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.07.0).
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced tropical fruit fertilizer every 68 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall). High-potassium formulas support fruit development and flavor.
• Pruning: Light pruning after each harvest encourages new fruiting wood and keeps the tree at a manageable size. Guava fruits on new growth, so regular pruning is key to consistent yields.
• Harvest Window: Typically spring and fall in warm climates, with fruit ripening 34 months after flowering. Harvest when fruit yields to gentle pressure and develops its characteristic sweet fragrance.
