Care
When planting you guava tree, pick a spot in full sun with well-draining soil at least 10-12 feet away from other trees, buildings, or other obstructions. However, allow your young tree to acclimate to the sun before planting, as it can burn. Barbie Pink Guavas are very low-maintenance, easy-to-grow trees as long as they have enough sunlight, enough water, well-draining soil, and occasional pruning. You can prune your guava tree to be about 15 feet tall to make harvesting easier.
