Growing Tips
Plant Ruby Supreme Guava in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first year to establish strong roots, then moderately once mature. Fertilize during the growing season for best yields. Guavas are adaptable and drought-tolerant once established but produce more fruit with consistent watering. In USDA Zones 9–11, it grows well in-ground; in cooler zones, plant in a large container and bring indoors during cold weather. Prune after harvest to control size and encourage airflow.
