Common guava is a fast-growing tropical fruit tree that thrives in full sun with regular, deep watering during the growing season. Plant in well-draining, fertile soil and fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fruit-tree fertilizer to encourage heavy fruiting. It is cold-sensitive and grows best in USDA zones 9-11 or in large containers that can be brought indoors during frost.
