Pruning is recommended, as it is seen to increase fruiting. Also, the tree can be kept very compact.
Variegated Guava Fruit
When ripe, the colour of the fruit turns yellow. The previous variegated look of the fruit will now look less prominent.
The fruit is delicious, like any other guava. The size of the fruit is also similar to that of the common guava. However, it has much less seeds.
