Our Guava Tree
Guava Tree |
We have a guava tree in our new home, most probably planted by my wife's uncle years back since it has been bearing fruits since I started gardening in this place a year back. The only difference is that whenever we wanted a guava fruit before, most of the time, insects has beaten us to it, or is either the fruit has already dropped since it is already ripe.
This year however, is a little bit different since, the tree is at our back yard, and near our toilet. Making it easy for us, to easily spot the guava fruits.

How do I determine then if the fruit is ready for the picking? Basing from my own experience, a guava fruit that is ready for picking will be easy for the hand, with very little resistance, while those fruits that still needs time to ripen would offer a certain amount of resistance, thus ,making it a little bit harder to separate the fruit from the branch.
This has been the method that I had been using lately aside from looking at the color of the fruit, and is happy enough to say that it works for me.
Have a good day!
