Ruby Supreme Guava brings island flavor to patios and backyards with aromatic, ruby-fleshed fruit that’s sweet with a lively tang. Compact, glossy, and handsome year-round, it fruits early (often in 1–2 years), performs beautifully in containers, and thrives outdoors in warm climates—perfect for fresh eating, smoothies, desserts, and preserves.

Ruby Supreme Guava Tree Care

Plant in full sun (6–8+ hours) and well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; a slightly acidic to neutral pH works best. Keep soil evenly moist—water deeply when the top 1–2 inches are dry, easing off slightly as fruit nears ripeness to concentrate flavor. Mulch 2–3 inches to conserve moisture and protect shallow roots.

Feed in spring and midsummer with a balanced citrus/fruit-tree fertilizer. Prune lightly after harvest to keep height in check, thin crowded shoots, and encourage branching.

Ruby Supreme is self-fertile, though outdoor pollinators increase yield; for indoor plants, a gentle branch shake can help. Protect from cold—damage occurs near 30–32°F; in zones cooler than about 9–10, grow in containers and overwinter in a bright, frost-free spot.

Ruby Supreme Guava Tree Spacing

In-ground plants typically mature around 8–12 ft tall by 6–10 ft wide. Space 8–10 ft from other trees or structures for airflow, light, and easy harvest; hedgerow plantings can be set 6–8 ft on center with regular pruning. For containers, start with a 20–24 inch diameter pot with excellent drainage and position planters 2–3 ft apart for access and airflow.
