Nazametz Pineapple Guava Bush (Tree Form)

1. Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil to plant your pineapple guava. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Gently place the plant in the hole, backfilling with soil while ensuring it's at the same depth it was growing in the pot. Water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: This plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established, needing only occasional watering. During the first few months after planting, keep the soil moist to help the roots settle in. After that, water deeply but infrequently—allow the top few inches of soil to dry out between waterings.

3. Pruning: Light pruning can help shape the plant and promote airflow, particularly after flowering. Remove any dead or crossing branches to keep the bush healthy and encourage new growth. Consider pruning in early spring before new growth starts.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize your pineapple guava once a year in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. This will provide the nutrients it needs to thrive. If your soil is particularly poor, you may benefit from additional amendments like compost to enhance soil quality.
