Plant Description

The Psidium cattleianum 'Red', also known as Red Strawberry Guava, is a dense, evergreen shrub or small tree with a rounded canopy. Its glossy, dark green leaves contrast beautifully with its fragrant white flowers, which develop into delicious red, round fruits. These smooth-skinned, berry-like guavas are about 3-5 cm in diameter, bursting with sweet, aromatic pulp. The plant's peeling, reddish-brown bark adds ornamental appeal, while its robust nature makes it a perfect choice for hedging or fruit production in warm climates.
