Want to grow abundant guavas in just one year? Look no further than the Barbie Pink Guava! Whether grown in a pot or planted in the ground, this tree promises to bring a touch of the tropics to your garden, patio, or even indoors during colder months.
Within one season, your Barbie Pink Guava will produce bumpy, round-shaped fruit that’s yellowish-green on the outside and a captivating Barbie-pink on the inside. The fruit is both crisp and aromatic, offering a perfect blend of tartness and sweetness. Turn it into jam or add to your favorite desserts or smoothies.
As the Guava tree matures, its trunk reveals a copper-colored bark that regularly peels off, exposing shades of pink and green. Light pruning is recommended to establish a robust base and ensure ample support during the fruiting season.
Experience the joy of harvesting juicy guava fruit in your own backyard! These fast-growing trees thrive in full sun and well-draining soil with heavy production in the late summer and early fall. Grow your Barbie Pink Guava today!
1. Planting: Find an area in your yard that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. Plant your Barbie Pink Guava in well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of your tree’s root ball and place inside the hole. Backfill with soil and water to establish. If planting in a container, make sure it has drainage holes.
2. Watering: When temperatures are higher, water at least once a week. If you’re unsure of when to water your Pink Guava, stick a finger at least two inches into the soil. If it’s dry, water the base.
Potted Guava Trees also likes to dry slightly in between waterings. If the top 2-3 inches of the soil feels like it’s starting to dry out, add just enough water to where you see it escaping the drainage holes and stop.
3. Fertilizing: To help establish your new Barbie Pink Guava, fertilize sparingly ten inches away from the base, three times a year with a slow-time released product.
4. Pruning: Prune the tree after harvesting in the winter. Ensure you’ve pruned all dead branches to ensure it can support ample food production next year.
5. Pollination: The Barbie Pink Guava is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.
