Yellow Strawberry Guava

The Yellow Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleianum littorale) is a small to medium-sized tree or shrub native to tropical regions of South America and the Caribbean. Thriving in full sun, it prefers well-draining soil that can be either light (sandy) or medium-textured, and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, this plant is well-suited for temperate regions. One distinctive feature of the Yellow Strawberry Guava is its yellow fruit, which sets it apart from other Psidium species. The fruit is edible and can be enjoyed fresh or dried, making it a versatile addition to landscapes and culinary preparations. While primarily known for its ornamental value, the fruit also offers a light, refreshing taste, enhancing both edible and ornamental landscapes. For propagation, use seeds or cuttings, and the plant can reach up to 6 meters in height.
