Harvesting My First Pink Guavas From Our Tree!!!

in homesteading •  7 years ago  (edited)

Good afternoon, Steemians!

I'm so excited to show you my pink guava tree's first harvest! We planted this tree about 6 months ago and already have fruit! The tree cost $50, that much I remember. I believe we got it from Lowe's, but it could've been The Home Depot.

Just before I harvested them - the smell coming off them was incredible!

Reppin' Steemit! - You want the guava skins to start turning yellow and a pungent beautiful smell to be emitted before you pick!

Amazing that they produce so quickly. I'm happy for you and envious at the same time!

Thanks man, I think the tree must be about 3 years old at this point :)

Nice!
Did you plant that tree indoors or outdoors?

Outdoors :) I don't have space inside for trees lol

What sort of climate do you live in?
I think guavas require some warm temperatures.

South Florida (sub tropical)

Oooo congratulations on your growing skills I bet you're proud! It is amazing to see the size compared to the shop bought brilliant job 👍🏽

Thank you! And I don't use fertilizers!!!

You've done very well!
Well done 😊

Thank you :D Can't wait to taste it and compare to the store bought ones.

Please let us know how it goes!
