Q.Male Or Female STRAWBERRY GUAVA TREE

Zone Los Angeles 90048 | Anonymous added on July 15, 2024 | Answered

Your article about strawberry guava trees was very helpful. I now believe that my tree IS NOT FRUITING because it needs cross-pollination. How do I know whether my tree is male or female, and how can I buy the appropriate second one?

Strawberry guavas are self-fruitful but a second tree could increase the yield. It could be you don't have a lot of honeybees. Do you have lots of pollinator friendly flowers growing in the yard? If you want a second tree, any variety that blooms at the same time will do. There are not separate trees for male and female flowers. Check the growing conditions below with the care your tree receives.
