Yellow Cherry Guava

The yellow cherry guava is a very tolerant fruit tree with good tolerance to salt, poor soil and cold temperatures — surviving down to approximately -4°C to -5°C once established. It is slightly less cold hardy than the red cherry guava (which tolerates around -6°C), so in marginal cold locations the red is the safer choice. More tolerant of short periods of flooding than the red, but slightly less drought tolerant. A small tree to 4m with glossy green evergreen leaves. Pale yellow fruit, sweet, aromatic and juicy with edible seeds.
