Buy Guava Tree Seeds

The guava tree seeds (Psidium guajava) is a distinctive small tree that grows up to 33 feet (10 meters) tall, characterized by its spreading branches and notable features:

• Bark: The bark is smooth, thin, and copper-colored, often flaking off to reveal a greenish layer underneath. Over time, the trunk can grow up to 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter, giving it a robust appearance.

• Twigs: Young twigs are quadrangular (four-sided) and covered in a downy texture.

• Leaves: The evergreen leaves are opposite, short-petioled (with short stalks), and oval or oblong-elliptic in shape. They range from 2 3/4 to 6 inches (7-15 cm) in length and 1 1/2 to 2 inches (3-5 cm) in width. The leaves are leathery with conspicuous parallel veins and are slightly downy on the underside. When crushed, they emit a faint aromatic fragrance.

• Flowers: Guava produces white flowers that are faintly fragrant, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. The flowers are borne singly or in small clusters in the leaf axils. They have 4 or 5 white petals that quickly shed, revealing a prominent tuft of around 250 white stamens tipped with pale-yellow anthers.

The guava tree's distinctive appearance, aromatic leaves, and fragrant flowers contribute to its recognition and popularity in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
