White Guava Tree brings sun-drenched, tropical flavor to patios and small backyards without the fuss. Glossy evergreen leaves, fragrant spring blooms, and pale green fruit with sweet, tender flesh make this compact tree as beautiful as it is productive.

Grow it in the ground in warm climates, or keep it in a container you can wheel onto a sunny patio. White Guava fruits young and reliably, delivering a steady harvest from late summer into fall with simple, consistent care.

White Guava Tree Care

Give White Guava Tree full sun—at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily—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; expect weekly soakings in-ground during active growth and more frequent checks for containers in hot weather. Mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch several inches away from the trunk.

Feed monthly from early spring through early fall with a slow-release citrus/fruit tree fertilizer (for example, balanced with micronutrients); pause feeding in winter. Prune in late winter to shape, remove crossing wood, and tip back after harvest to encourage new fruiting shoots.

Self-fruitful, though a second guava can boost yields. Best outdoors in Zones 9–11; in cooler regions, grow in a container and move indoors before nights drop below 40°F (4°C).

White Guava Tree Spacing

For a specimen, allow 8–12 feet of width and plant 8–10 feet from walls or other trees for airflow and light. 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 and driveways 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 roots fill the pot. Position containers 2–3 feet from a bright south- or west-facing wall for reflected warmth; stake only during the first windy season, then remove supports.
