April 23, 2017A.Most Guava Trees start producing fruit in their 3rd year, either from seed or grafted.
Optimum care is needed, though to produce a healthy fruiting tree.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/guava/growing-guava-fruit-trees.htm

August 12, 2017A.During fall or dormancy for the best chance; my research shows this tree can be difficult to transplant.
Dig a much of the root ball as possible.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/guava/growing-guava-fruit-trees.htm

Certified ExpertA.I would suggest wettable sufur, or neem oil. I have also had success with something from Foxfarm called Force of Nature miticide... Not only does it control mites, but the garlic in it is an antifungal. This is an organic treatment but keep it out of your eyes. IT BURNS! haha.

Hi, How to increase the leaves in Guava fruit tree. Best wishes.
- Answered by

Certified ExpertA.This is usually caused by a lack of nitrogen in the soil. Adding this can help vegetative leaf growth in your tree.
Alternatively, the soil pH might be a bit off. Dolomitic lime will, usually, correct this if adding nitrogen does not fix the problem.
Here is an article on the care of the tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/guava/growing-guava-fruit-trees.htm

lake city floridaQ.Fertilizer
How,much fertilizer 20-20-20 TO GIVE TO GUAVA TREES IN A POTS (3 Years old)? Or if there is any better fertilizer? Thanks in advance.

Certified ExpertA.Normally I would alway say that it is always best to follow the fertilization guide on the container, as every manufacturer will have a different feed ratio. In this case, for that high concentration I would use only 1/4 that strength once a month. The best fertilizers on the market are extremely expensive, and are not necessary for this case. The best that I am aware of will run you around $350 USD for a box, so you can see that it may not be the most efficient way to grow a single tree in a pot.
The only thing else I would say would be to add a little calcium and magnesium to this. Dolomitic lime will provide this, as well as keeping the soil pH balanced.
