Tropical Pink fleshed Guava - Psidium guajava - 'South African Pink' cultivar available through La Verne Nursery
Submitted by gbm on Tue, 12/01/2020 - 2:06pm(Click underlned title for more info) Excellent guava, nice balance of medium sweetness, medium low / low medium acidity and classic aroma, flavor, pink flesh, yellow skin, medium firm-soft texture. This is a grafted plant, but growing this guava (and all guavas, basically) from seed is a fair bet for high quality fruit also. Ripens late autumn to early spring. Photo above and the pre-cut / whole guava photo immediately below, are both late March 2020.

Florigon mango does great at my location in south OB, in sandy-ish garden soil. Usually true from seed without grafting. Basically no or minimal disease, barely any leaf burn, strong growth rate, nice upright trunk and upright rounded brunching structure. Polyembrionic seed.
