Barbie Pink Guava Tree

1. Planting: Find an area in your yard that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. Plant your Barbie Pink Guava in well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of your tree’s root ball and place inside the hole. Backfill with soil and water to establish. If planting in a container, make sure it has drainage holes.

2. Watering: When temperatures are higher, water at least once a week. If you’re unsure of when to water your Pink Guava, stick a finger at least two inches into the soil. If it’s dry, water the base.

Potted Guava Trees also likes to dry slightly in between waterings. If the top 2-3 inches of the soil feels like it’s starting to dry out, add just enough water to where you see it escaping the drainage holes and stop.

3. Fertilizing: To help establish your new Barbie Pink Guava, fertilize sparingly ten inches away from the base, three times a year with a slow-time released product.

4. Pruning: Prune the tree after harvesting in the winter. Ensure you’ve pruned all dead branches to ensure it can support ample food production next year.

5. Pollination: The Barbie Pink Guava is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.
