Psidium guajava ‘Brazilian Orange’ is one of your classic ol’ Tropical Guava species. This species originated from the Seeds Hunter Shop of years past but it is truly the most delicious guava I’ve grown! This says a lot because I’ve grown many and had issues with them ripening to something that actually tastes like a a guava (and not water, haha). This one has met my expectations and certainly has a superior flavor & aroma to many guavas I’ve tried. This tree has been in the ground for three years at my farm and has reliably brought me delicious fruits and beautiful fall color. This selection seems relatively cold hardy and hasn’t displayed any damage from our winter frosts. A great species to include in the garden!
