Growing tips
Plant the guava in a spot with plenty of light, as it requires a lot of light. Since it grows into a tree, you should allow for a generous 600 cm between plants and between rows. With the right light conditions and enough space, the guava tree will reward you with a bountiful harvest of up to 125 kg.
