Egyptian Guava Long Neck

Common Names: Egyptian Guava, Egyptian Bassateen El Sabahia Guava, Long Neck Guava

This special guava is a top-notch fruit tree from Egypt, known for its high yields and great-tasting fruit. Also one of the easiest to grow in Perth. 

It's a pear-shaped fruit with pale yellow skin and creamy white, aromatic flesh that is sweet, juicy, and low in seeds. It's perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or making preserves, and it does really well in Perth's climate.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 2-4m (Can grow up to 6m if not pruned)

pH growing conditions: Adaptable, but prefers slightly acidic to neutral (5.5 to 7.0)

Shade or full sun: Full sun to part shade (needs at least six hours of sun for best fruiting)

Minimum pot year 5: 40L pot

Time to fruit age: 1-3 years from a bought tree (vegetatively propagated)

Egyptian Guava trees are fast-growing and easy to look after. They produce pretty white, fluffy flowers followed by the large, distinctively shaped fruit. They are moderately drought-tolerant once they get established but love regular watering, especially when flowering and fruiting in spring and summer.

Pruning helps keep the tree bushy and increases the number of fruit.

Interesting Notes:

This variety is famous for its sweet, aromatic flavour and being low in seeds, which makes it a favourite for fresh eating. It's also absolutely packed with Vitamin C and other good stuff.

The bark is a lovely copper colour and peels off, which looks great in the garden.

A must-have for any backyard tropical fruit collector.
