Grandeur, wonderful shade and fruits for those that love guava jelly. Of all our fruit trees, the Gold pear cherry guava is our most stunning looking fruit tree. Its fruit are the size of a 20c piece, yellow and prolific. It a weeks time our trees will be putting on a magnificent show when in full bloom - laced in white flowers with an alluring delicious fragrance. Our bees will be in heaven.

The trunks of guavas are so beautiful and boy are they tough in our climate. Love the flowers of this one.
