Banana Guava: A Tropical Treat For Vitamins, Antioxidants, And Flavor | Growing Guide

Banana Guava (Psidium guajava 'Dwarf') is a tropical evergreen shrub native to South America. It grows up to 5-10 ft tall, prefers full sun to partial shade, and can tolerate USDA hardiness zones 9-11. Its smooth, yellow fruit resembles a small guava with a sweet, banana-like flavor. Banana Guava is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, and it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Grow it in well-drained soil, water regularly, and fertilize monthly for optimal growth. Harvest the fruit when it turns yellow and store it at room temperature for a few days.
