How many years does it take for guava to bear fruit?

Introduction to growing guava

Guava likes warm, sunny environment. The temperature during the normal growth period should be between 15 and 20 degrees, so that it will grow more vigorously. The temperature in winter should not be lower than minus 18 degrees, otherwise it will be frostbitten. Guava is suitable for sowing in early spring from February to April. Select plump seeds without wormholes for sowing.

The guava tree can bear fruit continuously for 50 to 60 years. After that, the yield gradually decreases and it enters a period of aging, but its fruiting period can still continue for 20 to 30 years. Therefore, the lifespan of the pomegranate tree is as long as 100 years. If cultivated and managed properly, it can reach more than 200 years, but economic cultivation only lasts 70 to 80 years.

Guava planting results after several years

Guava trees grow very fast. Generally, they will bear fruit 75-85 days after planting. At the latest, they can be picked 10 months after planting. They bloom and bear fruit all year round. It is one of the earliest and most prolific fruit tree varieties in the world.

Areas where the average temperature of the coldest month exceeds 15 degrees are most suitable for growing guava. Guava begins to grow nutritionally at 15 degrees, and 28 degrees is the most suitable and fastest temperature. When the temperature is low, the plant grows slowly or even stops growing. The leaves are purple and the photosynthetic capacity is poor, which is not conducive to flowering, fruit setting and fruit development.

Grafted guava blooms and bears fruit

Since the growth cycle of guava is extremely short, normally planted guava can bloom and bear fruit in 80 days, so the grafting time is even shorter than 80 days, and the grafted guava can bloom and bear fruit in the same year.

Potted guava fruit

The growth cycle of potted guava is also very short. Generally, the potted guava tree can bear fruit 80 days after planting, and can be harvested 10 months after planting at the latest. It blooms and bears fruit all year round.

Why doesn't guava bear fruit?

If the environment for guava to bear fruit is not good enough, such as not applying fertilizer in time, insufficient nutrients, or external climate influences, it will affect its flowering and fruiting. In addition, artificial pollination is required during the flowering period.
