‘Barbie Pink’ Guava packs tropical flavor and color into a compact, easygoing fruit tree. Glossy evergreen leaves frame blush-pink, aromatic fruit that’s delicious straight from the branch and equally at home in smoothies, jams, and desserts.

Grow it in the ground for a steady summer-to-fall harvest, or keep it in a pot on a sunny patio for a lush, exotic look year-round. This variety is naturally tidy, productive at a young age, and happy in warm climates or protected container setups.

‘Barbie Pink’ Guava Care

Place in full sun with 6–8+ hours of direct light for best flowering and fruit set. Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost; slightly acidic to neutral pH 5.8–7.0 is ideal. Water deeply when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; in heat, expect 1–2 thorough soakings per week for in-ground trees and more frequent checks for containers.

Mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch a few inches away from the trunk. Feed monthly in spring through early fall with a balanced, slow-release fruit tree fertilizer (for example 6-4-6 with micronutrients); pause feeding in winter.

Prune lightly in late winter to shape and open the canopy, then tip-prune after harvest to encourage new fruiting wood. Self-fruitful, though a second guava can boost yields. Typical harvest runs late summer into fall depending on climate. Best in Zones 9–11; in cooler regions, grow in a container you can move indoors before nights drop below 40°F (4°C). If your plant is grafted, remove any suckers that emerge below the graft.

‘Barbie Pink’ Guava Spacing

For a specimen, allow 8–12 feet of width and plant 8–10 feet from walls or other trees for airflow and sun. For a loose fruiting hedge, space 6–8 feet on center and maintain at 6–8 feet tall with annual pruning. Keep 3–4 feet back from paths for comfortable clearance.

In containers, start with a 16–20 inch wide pot (7–10 gallons) with drainage; upsize to 20–24 inches (15–25 gallons) as the tree matures. Position pots 2–3 feet from a south-facing wall or bright window for reflected warmth; stake only the first season in windy sites.
