Hello from Louisiana, I agree with you, I like the longer videos.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Good to know!

[@lyonheart84]

Remarkable selection of tropical guava plants George

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Thanks Brett, it's been fun learning 😀

[@scottyt-au6902]

Loved the clip. I've been waiting for you to do a show just on your guava tree's. Would also be interested on what time of year and type of fertiliser you use for them to help fruit.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I feed all trees around late August with premium compost. Again, in early summer (December).

[@scottyt-au6902]

@@RealLifeFruitopia Thank you for that. I have had trouble getting fruit each year in SE Melb. Even tried manual fertilizing with a small, tiny hobby brush.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Insects should be pollinating them. I've never hand pollinated any guava flowers.

[@SiddKundu]

Thanks for the detailed video. Love the long videos . They are very informative as you share your experience so candidly. I was perplexed with my 3 yr old guavas (Starlings and Mexican) trying to produce fruit through the winter when the trees are stressed out. I was wondering how are the fruits going to mature during the cold Melbourne winter. Eventually I got very small ripened guavas (no sweetness at all). Looks like I have to wait another couple of years to get proper fruits.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Glad you like the videos long!

[@walterthompson2195]

Man you gotta move to somewhere more tropical than Melbourne. You seem much happier in the tropics.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I'm happy wherever there's abundant sunshine, water, and fresh fruit. I'm also grateful to be enjoying both sides of the country. 😎

[@pj-vq3by]

i just ate mexican cream guava here in Northland NZ and my tree only 3 years old from seed still in a pot lol really nice compared to tropical pink and thai white which are the others i have

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Mine is unprotected and inground. Big difference with sheltered pot plants.

[@grownbyme-lakeillawarra2993]

Interesting to know when the fruit fall. Good to be getting different fruit in winter, mine are still young for fruiting yet , glad there is hope from year 3-5 .

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

This is the wonderful thing about growing tropical fruit, the endless harvesting all year 😋

[@grownbyme-lakeillawarra2993]

@@RealLifeFruitopia and it’s so much fun, when we are in colder climates when it’s successful.

[@danuskanamal]

I ve got a guava plant in pot for three years. Going put it on ground this spring. Did you mean it’s ok after three years in ground or in pot count as well?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Both

[@sydneyfruitgardening]

Looks good, which guava you like the most? I haven’t been a huge fan of the ones I’ve tried, I found the seeds a bit too hard and flesh a bit bland. I’ve got some seedling growing up, strawberry guava and one “white” and one “yellow”. Just swapped with me locally.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Lemon or yellow cherry guava are the sweetest to eat off the tree. White and pink are bland on their own, better as a savoury treat with salt and chilli for the white and juicing and jam for the pink. I'm waiting to try Mexican, Amman, and Starlings. Guava are highly underrated and relatively unknown in the West. Many parts of the tree are useful in teas and natural medicine.

[@sabisingh1045]

Hi George. I was just back tracking on guava to find which guava variety I should buy next as I already have a Indian, Hawaiian and Thai pink guava varieties. I want to buy a winter flowering variety which the Mexican variety seems like. This would be beneficial to me because it would produce sweeter fruit in the spring or summer. Anyways I look forward to you trying the Mexican and starling white varieties.location is whittlesea area Melbourne

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I'm not sure about Mexican Cream yet, as it fruited once when still a young tree, next spring will know better. Starlings taste was ok, but also too young. Look for Allahabad guava, it's said to be the sweetest of all.

[@sabisingh1045]

@@RealLifeFruitopia I think Allahabad guava is just a indian guava but not sure

[@geriannroth449]

Unbelievable how far apart are your trees again & approximately how tall do you keep them?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I keep them between 2 and 3 meters high.

[@geriannroth449]

@RealLifeFruitopia ok but approximately how far apart are they planted?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Approximately 2 meters apart.

[@geriannroth449]

@RealLifeFruitopia ok thanks again

[@danielbetancourt1794]

What Fertilizers do you use, i'm in Orlando Florida

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Premium compost, slow release rooster pellets and liquid seaweed concentrate. Chop & drop throughout the year.

[@geriannroth449]

Love your clothes line just enough space for the sun to dry your clothes.

[@kinglucas9922]

Which variety is your favorite?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Lemon Guava is my favourite, known as yellow Cherry Guava in Australia.

[@ankur5566]

What is your location? Do you sale guava tree or fruits? I am also in Melbourne, in west side.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

No guava for sale. I'm south east.

[@ankur5566]

@@RealLifeFruitopia do you know from where i can buy matured guava tree..? Thanks for help in advance.

[@SwetsLife]

you need a bigger place, where you can accommodate all the fruit trees and also host fruit walks, like they do in Florida, Im sure a lot of us would love a tour around your place

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I planned my life to be private, with no groups of visitors dropping by. My KZbin videos have and will continue to be an inspiration for growers in the decades to follow. Thanks for watching.

[@SwetsLife]

@@RealLifeFruitopia ☺ you truly are an inspiration George
