Guava

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a tree or shrub native to the tropical regions of West Africa and South America. It thrives in moist, light to heavy soil and requires full sun for optimal growth. Native to Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, and Liberia, it has also been introduced to other parts of the world, including Argentina and Bolivia. Known for its edible fruit and leaves, guava is a versatile plant with ornamental value as well. One distinctive feature is its ability to grow in various soil types, making it adaptable to different environments. Another notable characteristic is its light green foliage and small white flowers that give way to the familiar, fragrant fruit.
