White Guava (Psidium guajava) 

Jumbo fruit, plant is about 18+ months. 

The Thai White guava has gained its popularity due to its super large sized fruit, mildly sweet, the white crunchy flesh is similar to an apple  with an edible seeds. The skin can be smooth and sometime bumpy too.  Thai White guavas are often eaten slightly under ripe and raw dipped in salt or sugar mixed with dried chili. They can be julienned and added to green mango or papaya salads. Fresh guava spears can be pickled and used on their own or as an accompaniment to roasted chicken. Chopped Thai White guava also goes well in sweet applications as an unusual pie filling or a crumble. A very fast and prolific producers it doesn't require much attention other than protection from frost when young. More hardy once established. Perfect for container growing.

The ripe guava can be halved and eaten from the shell or sliced and combined with other fruit. Guava can be pureed and made into sauces, sorbets, and mousses, or cooked down into a firm paste and sliced. It can be made into jellies, jams, and preserves. Guava can also be juiced.

In warmer regions guavas will ripen all year. Guava fruits usually mature in 3 to 4 months after flowering. There is a distinctive change in the color and aroma of the guava that has ripened. For the best flavor, allow fruit to ripen on the tree.
