My little guava tree has two branches at the top of like a 4 ft trunk. It’s winter and there are no leaves except a few left over from last year. I see buds for leaves but the two branches only is a problem. How can I help it to have more branches instead of just getting taller

Greetings from Tampico, Mexico! I have several young guava trees, all in pots. Thanks so much for the info on pruning them. I'm disabled and running up and down ladders to harvest the fruit is problematic for me, to say the least! The biggest issue I've had with guavas is whitefly infestations, which I've managed to control by spraying the undersides of the leaves with a 1 to 4 mixture of dish detergent and water. Also, be very careful stepping them up into larger pots as they don't survive damage to their taproots...

Wow, what valuable insights you have shared here with us, thank you so very much 💚 it's really great to know about the transplanting and tap root damage as that is such an easy thing to do. Also, very well done for problem solving and finding solutions to the challenges you faced with growing your own guavas at home 🌻

I've been growing a guava tree for roughly ten years in the sandy soils of the False Bay area. Despite its size (approximately 800mm), minimum knowledge, and a period of neglect that slowed its growth, it has recently started to yield an abundance of fruit, regardless of its modest size. Thanks, I appreciate the information on pruning.

Hey Steve, thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment! I am so glad you got value from watching this video and I hope your trimming is going to result in a well structured and heavy bearing tree! In terms of food they are pretty easy and really don't need much. I put horse manure throughout my garden and that is pretty much all anything gets. Guava trees can grow and bear fruit in pretty poor soils so I would be cautious of too much food because then you could end of with more growth and fruit. I would suggest just compost in the Fall and again in Spring 🌻

Great questions you have there! If you want to get a summer harvest the best time to prune is late spring. You will then get a summer crop and in autumn is should flower again to give you a winter crop. After that crop you then prune to stimulate the summer crop again. If you prune too late you will most likely only get one of the two crops 🌻

@MySustainabilityJourney Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment from the other side of the world 😀 I would not recommend pruning once the tree starts to bear fruit as you will end up losing lots of fruit but most importantly you will end up severely weakening the tree as it will try to put on lots of new growth (that's what they do once they get pruned) as well as try to ripen fruit. It could probably be done, but you will more than likely end up with a pretty weak tree that will, over time, start to produce less and poorer quality guava fruits 🌻

Hi we have inherited a guava 'orchard' that is overgrown with bush. I am busy clearing around small trees which ore more like bushes. How do I bring them in to prevent horizontal growth.
@MySustainabilityJourney5 ай бұрын
Good question and congratulations on inheriting something so great 👏 Guava trees regularly send our suckers from the base of the tree and even send out suckers growing off the roots directly around the base of the tree. Removing suckers is going to be your No.1 chore for effectively managing your guava orchard. Then, you need to ensure you only have a single primary trunk. You can choose the thickest and strongest one and remove all the other trunks or branches competing for the main leader position. By having a single truck you can better control the movement of nutrients and waters to where you want it, rather than the tree deciding. This will result in significantly better yields. Once you have your single trunk you need to manage the number of side branches to ensure branches (when they droop with fruit) don't cross or shade one another out. The great thing about guavas is that they are incredibly aggressive growers and can take a beating when it comes to pruning, which is great as it means you can make as many mistakes as you want and the tree won't suffer. The most important thing to remember is that guava trees flower and fruit on new growth 🌻🌻🌻

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you found this video interesting. I have not personally made huge cuts on massive trees, but I have seen videos where they cut trees down to lower trunks and the tree is just fine. Guava trees are incredibly resilient trees and can put on 2-3m growth in a single year. Alternatively, you can follow the more practiced technique of pruning 1/3rd of the growth away every year until you reach the desired size. This is a lot less stressful on the tree so you have options 🌻

Hello from the other side of the pond 😀 Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment and yes, the principles would be exactly the same with the cherry guava. My only suggestion would be to be less aggressive and feed it more as they grow slower in the shade so may not bounce back from pruning as quickly. Giving it some extra food will help so that it doesn't have to rely too much on photosynthesis to create its own energy! As we share the same seasons I am sure you are just as excited as I am to see summer arriving...🌻

You share the Southern Hemisphere with us so the timing would be roughly the same which can be anything from Oct to Jan depending on when you harvest your last quava fruit.

Oh no, that's terrible! I also really struggle with fruit flies and don't have a single sting, so I'm thinking it could be the false coddling moth? The reason being that fruit flies activity drops down heavily in late summer when false coddling moth start to increase theirs. It's also a massive pest for citrus which ripens now, so maybe that's your culprit? If so, luckily it's easy to control numbers with a Delta trap that you hang in trees.

@5:34 how do you control the height if 1 branch pruned, gives 2 which then gives 4, so height keeps growing, how to restrict the height?
@MySustainabilityJourney10 ай бұрын
Good question! When I refer to controlling height I don't mean keep the tree small forever. What I am meaning is that if a strong bring grows 1m in a growing season the next year's growth is going to be 1m higher and so forth. By significantly cutting down growth you get significantly more branches at a lower hight. For example, if you cut that 1m branch down to 20cm then your next 2 branches (that will both bear fruit) will be around 20-30cm high. Those 2 branches will then put on lots of growth and you will cut that back and get 4 branches. What this mean is that in 5 years your trees height will be at the height it was after 1 strong year of growth. If you left that same guava tree u pruned that tree will be 6m+ in height. I hope this helps 🌻
@aparnakumta229110 ай бұрын
@@MySustainabilityJourney Thanks for your response. My question was more on how to control the height each successive year so as to maintain a smaller height. so year 1 i cut as 20 cms, get say 2 branches which grow to 20 cms, i cut at 10 cms and then get 4 branches that grow 20 cms, i cut at 10 cms, so effective height is now 40 and it keeps growing. How to restrict this height? I would like max height of tree not to exceed say 6 feet.

@MySustainabilityJourney Жыл бұрын
Good question and point you raise here, thank you! I believe it all comes down to when you would like your fruit to ripen. The earlier you prune, the earlier you will have fruit set and the earlier you can harvest and you can control this with pruning. That being said, guava trees are known to grow 6-8ft in one year and hard pruning does them well, so the amount of growth also would not be a concern to me as more growth = a happier and stronger tree Like I said, you can realistically prune whenever you want, but just know it impacts when fruits ripen 🌻

Two years is very young and just remwber you need to have a decent size trunk to be able to support the guava fruit, as well ass the branches needed to hold the fruit. Personally I would not try get fruit from the tree in the first 3 years as the risk of branches breaking is just too high. Then, also remember that guava trees flower and fruit on new growth so pruning plays a big role. However, a 2 year old tree needs to grow out to thicken up and get all the energy it needs for future fruiting years 🌻
