Guava isn't just one plant - these three varieties differ in size, flavor, and hardiness, so it's worth knowing what sets each one apart.
Dwarf Guava
Dwarf Guava is bred to stay compact, making it the top choice for container growing or small yards, while still producing fragrant, sweet fruit typical of classic guava.
Pineapple Guava
Pineapple Guava, also known as feijoa, offers a milder, tropical flavor with hints of pineapple and mint. It's notably more cold-hardy than true guava, making it a great option for cooler parts of Florida.
Strawberry Guava
Strawberry Guava produces smaller, reddish fruit with a sweet, berry-like flavor. The shrub itself is attractive enough to double as an ornamental planting.
Choosing the Right Variety
Want the classic guava experience in a small space? Go with Dwarf Guava. Need more cold tolerance? Pineapple Guava is the safer bet. Want something a little different? Strawberry Guava delivers unique flavor and good looks.
