GUAYABO FRUIT

Guava is a common tropical fruit grown in many tropical and subtropical regions. It is native to Western America and India. The outside is light green or light yellow, round or oval. The color of its flesh ranges from white or pink to deep red. The scientific name of guava, which can be preserved and consumed for many years, is Psidium guajava. This tropical fruit, which has about 100 varieties, is very rich in vitamins A, B, C, copper, potassium, magnesium lycopene and antioxidants. In America, it is usually added to fruit sauces, while in Asian countries it is consumed raw.

Guava is produced in many countries for its fruit. Apple guava (P. guajava) and many other cultivars are grown commercially.

Especially red-colored varieties of guava (red-colored varieties such as Red Apple guava and Strawberry guava) are more resistant to cold than other types.

Especially mature trees are reasonably cold tolerant and can withstand temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius for short periods of time, but young plants cannot. Thanks to this feature, it is known that trees live even in the northern part of Pakistan, where the temperature drops below 5 degrees at night. However, some species in the Guava family, such as the cream tree, can tolerate even -10 degrees cold. In addition, Guava is in demand by garden and home growers due to its being one of the rare tropical plants that can be easily grown in pots at home and its pleasant smell.
