Guava Psidium Guajava

Guava (Psidium guajava), commonly referred to as Amrud, is a tropical evergreen tree native to Central America and widely cultivated in India and other tropical regions. It grows up to 10 meters tall and features glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers. The tree produces round or pear-shaped fruits with a thin, edible skin that ranges in color from green to yellow. The pulp is sweet and aromatic, varying in color from white to pink or red, depending on the variety. Guava fruits are rich in Vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to diets. The tree thrives in warm climates and well-draining soil, requiring full sun and regular watering during dry spells. It is low-maintenance and starts bearing fruit within 2–4 years of planting, making it suitable for home gardens and commercial orchards.
