Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Have you ever wanted to grow a Guava but didn't have the room? We found this dwarf cultivar in Maui and knew at once it was made for the potted garden. It's exactly the same in every way as the Guava of commerce yet smaller. Mature plants reach only 3' in height and with a little pruning can easily be maintained on the windowsill. They flower and fruit throughout most of the year. Yet in the north, spring to summer is their usual time. The leaves are 1" in length and the fruit which can be up to 2" long has the typical pink flesh. A most entertaining variety.
