Live Red Strawberry Guava Plant (5-9" Tall) - Psidium cattleyanum - Sweet Edible Fruit Tree - Compact Indoor/Outdoor Container Garden

What You Will Receive: You will receive 1 Live Strawberry Guava Starter Plant, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. This vigorous, healthy sapling is shipped in its soil plug/grow pot (not bare root) to ensure high survival rates and is ready to be potted up or planted immediately.

A Taste of the Tropics: Grow your own exotic candy! This variety produces an abundance of walnut-sized, deep red berries that taste like a delicious cross between a sweet strawberry and a passionfruit. The skin is thin and edible, making them perfect for eating fresh right off the branch or making unique jams and jellies.

Versatile Growing Options: A perfect fruit tree for small spaces. While it can grow into a tree in the ground (Zones 9-11), the Strawberry Guava naturally thrives in containers and pots. This makes it an ideal choice for patio gardens, balconies, or as an indoor sunny window plant in cooler climates.

Ornamental & Edible: This isn't just a fruit tree; it's a landscaping gem. It features glossy, deep green leathery leaves and peeling, coppery bark that adds architectural interest. In spring, it bursts with fragrant white flowers that fill the air with a sweet scent before turning into delicious fruit.

Easy Care Promise: One of the hardiest tropical fruit trees available. Strawberry Guava is known for being drought-tolerant once established and generally pest-free. It is self-pollinating, meaning you only need one plant to get fruit, making it perfect for beginner gardeners.

Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the foliage and root system during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and water well. Keep in a shaded area for 24-48 hours to recover from travel stress before moving to a sunny location. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Grow Your Own Exotic "Super-Fruit" at Home

Why settle for grocery store fruit when you can harvest exotic, sun-ripened berries right from your own patio? The Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleyanum) is a gardening favorite for a reason: it delivers high-yield harvests of sweet, aromatic fruit on a beautiful, compact tree that fits in almost any space.

A Flavor Experience Like No Other

Imagine biting into a berry that combines the floral sweetness of a strawberry with the zesty tang of passionfruit and rose. The fruit of the Strawberry Guava is a gourmet treat you rarely find in markets. The deep red fruit is entirely edible—skin and all—making it the perfect healthy snack for kids and adults alike. Use them in smoothies, savory sauces, or fresh fruit salads for a burst of tropical flavor.

The Perfect Patio Companion

You don’t need an orchard to grow guava. This plant is famous for its adaptability. In warmer climates (USDA Zones 9-11), it makes an excellent privacy hedge or specimen tree. However, it is equally happy growing in a large pot on a balcony or deck. If you live in a cooler zone, simply bring the pot indoors near a sunny window during the winter to enjoy its glossy, evergreen foliage year-round.

Hardy, Healthy, and Low Maintenance

We ship these plants at a healthy 5-9 inch height, past the delicate seedling stage. Unlike regular guavas, the Strawberry/Cattley Guava is surprisingly cold-hardy (down to roughly 25°F for short periods when mature) and forgiving of missed waterings. It is self-fertile, so you don't need a second tree to enjoy fruit.
