September 9, 2019Q.Why did my strawberry guava tree fruit twice this year
Hi, As you can tell from the question above, I am not disappointed but curious as to why my strawberry guava tree got two full crops this spring/summer. The fruit (thousands) ripened as usual in May/June but then almost immediately flowered and fruited again (again thousands), starting to ripen now. I have had the tree about 20 years and it has never done that. Any ideas? Hopefully the double year this year won't affect future years. I guess all gardeners would love problems like this but I just wondered if you had any explanation. We live in West Los Angeles - 90064 not too near or too far away from the coast. Thanks, Ken Sackman

Certified ExpertA.Did you prune differently this year? Apparently you can induce more fruiting just by simple pruning techniques.

H4 - H6 or 6 to 9Q.When Would Be The Best Time To Move A Ugni Molinae Bush
The bush is fairly small and has been planted in its current position for the past few years. However I was originally told that this favoured shaded areas with a sunny position part of the day. I now find out it likes full sun, so would like to move it to a better position other than the north easterly one it is in at the moment. When it was potted it did flower and produced fruit, but since planting it in the ground there have been no flowers.

Certified ExpertA.Any transplanting should be done in Spring or Autumn. Really, at any time that the weather is mild, and not hot or cold.

Certified ExpertA.Sudden fruit drop is usually related to environmental conditions or the naturally shedding process. Here are some articles that should help:

July 16, 2024Q.Male Or Female STRAWBERRY GUAVA TREE
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?

Certified ExpertA.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.
