Micro Leaf Guva ( Psidium)

Micro Leaf Guava (often referred to as Psidium guajava or simply Guava) is a tropical fruit tree known for its small, vibrant green leaves and sweet, aromatic fruits. Native to Central America and the Caribbean, this evergreen tree typically grows to a height of 10-30 feet (3-9 meters) and features a dense, bushy canopy. The micro leaf variety is particularly valued for its compact growth habit and the small size of its leaves, which enhance its ornamental appeal in gardens and landscapes. Guava fruits are round or oval and can vary in color from green to yellow, pink, or red, depending on the variety. The flesh is succulent and sweet, often described as having a tropical flavor that is both refreshing and fragrant. Rich in vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, guava is not only delicious but also highly nutritious, making it a popular choice for fresh consumption, juices, jams, and desserts. This versatile plant thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, making it well-suited for tropical and subtropical climates. As a bonus, the Micro Leaf Guava is also known for attracting pollinators, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the garden while providing delicious fruit for enjoyment.
