Guava Growing Conditions

Guava is a tropical fruit tree that is not resistant to low temperatures. Young trees will freeze to death when the temperature is -1℃-2℃. The suitable temperature for growth is around 28 degrees. It is not demanding on the soil and grows better in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam and clay loam. It can be planted in soil with a pH value of 4.5-8.0.

Guava Growth Temperature

The suitable growth temperature for guava is around 28 degrees. Areas with the lowest monthly average temperature above 15 degrees are the best areas for guava growth. Only areas with the lowest monthly average temperature above 10 degrees can be used for economic cultivation. If the temperature is below 12 degrees or above 38 degrees, guava will stop growing. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the fruit will often be burned.

The growth process of guava

After guava is planted, the seeds begin to germinate. After a certain period of vegetative growth, guava begins to form flowers through the induction of certain hormones. After a certain period of time, the ovules and various parts of the guava form fruits, which can be harvested when they are ripe.

Guava planting time and method

Guava can be planted at any time except in cold weather. The best time is March in spring, when the survival rate is higher. Before planting guava, you need to dig a tree pit and apply enough base fertilizer. The size of the tree pit is generally 1 meter long and wide and 60 centimeters deep. Put about 20 to 30 kilograms of decomposed farmyard manure in each pit, plus 1 kilogram of compound fertilizer, 0.5 kilograms of lime and 0.5 kilograms of phosphate fertilizer.
