Planting & Care

When planting your Barbie Pink Guava starter, choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture. For container growing, use a large pot with drainage holes and a quality potting mix. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

Fertilize with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during active growth. Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Protect from frost by moving containers indoors or providing frost cloth when temperatures drop below freezing. With proper care, your guava tree can begin producing fruit within 2-3 years.
