I live in Adelaide, South Australia which has a Mediterranean climate similar to San Francisco, and have just moved into a new house and very overcrowded garden. The guava is currently about seven feet high and is planted 3-4 feet away from a lovely weeping mulberry, which is more mature but not fully grown. I'd like to keep both, though the mulberry would take priority at a pinch. Can I transplant the guava and if so, what is the best season to do so?

We do not offer any services, other than information on plants and gardening. I would suggest contacting the local agricultural extension in your area for this.
I grew this guava tree from a seed, it about 6 feet tall, get blossom on for the last four years, but have not yet given any fruit, it growing next to bee loving bush, so it is not a pollinating issue. What gives?
It may be a simple matter of fertilizing. Here's a helpful article:

Hi I've two guava plants in a container. In Guava 1(more then 3 years): leaves turned to yellow with green veins even new leaves have same issue. Second old leaves curling downward. In Guava 2(more then 2 years): New leaves are curling with brown spots but old leaves is perfectly fine. Your expert advice is highly appreciated.
Unfortunately, without photos it will be hard to tell what is going on.
I suspect a pH issue, which can appear as a Magnesium deficiency, but this does not rule out infection, or an actual Magnesium deficiency.
The first place I would start would be soil testing. Testing nutrient contents and pH will give you a good idea of what the soil lacks, or if you need to adjust the pH. These articles will help:

That does not rule out the possibility of infection. A fungicide can be used for preventative measure:

This article will help you to the care of the tree:

This is, typically, due to there being too much nitrogen or not enough phosphorus and potassium in the soil. I would be sure to test the soil and pH, then amend accordingly.

This is caused by Anthracnose, or Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This is a widespread disease, and will affect many Genus and Species.

I have a guava cutting a few months old that has lost the few leaves it had... I kept on covered patio covered in plastic bag and watered once a day. What can I do?
Check to see if there is any activity from the roots, but that looks dead.
If there is any life left, or any root nodules forming, then you can continue to care for it. That soil is too compact and moist to root a cutting, though.
I would use a low nutrient mix designed for rooting cuttings and seedlings, and don't push it down around the cutting. Let it sit without compacting.
Here are some articles to help you with taking cuttings:
