The white guava tree is a tropical or subtropical fruit tree known for its sweet, aromatic white-fleshed guavas. Typically growing 10 to 20 feet tall, this tree has a spreading canopy with broad, elliptical, dark green leaves that give it a lush, tropical appearance. The bark of the tree is smooth and light brown, and it often sheds in thin flakes as the tree matures.
White guava trees produce small, fragrant flowers with white petals and numerous yellowish stamens. These flowers eventually develop into round to oval fruits with pale green to yellow skin when ripe. The interior flesh of the guava is creamy white and packed with small, edible seeds. The fruit has a sweet, floral flavor with a hint of tartness, making it popular for fresh consumption, juices, and desserts.
This tree thrives in warm climates with plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil, and it can tolerate periods of drought. It's relatively easy to grow and is often cultivated in home gardens for its delicious fruit and ornamental value. The white guava tree is also a fast grower, bearing fruit in as little as 2 to 4 years from planting.
