We went for a walk through the neighborhood this afternoon and came across two guava trees at different homes that were loaded with guavas. The ripe fruit was yellowish in color and they were about the size of a large plum. The fetching one "borrowed" one from each tree from limbs that were hanging over the sidewalk. When we got home she cut them open and one was yellow inside and the other orange. The orange one smelled like it would be sweet. The fetching on ate both of them. She said the yellow one was blah....not much flavor at all. She said the one that was orange inside had a nice tangy sweet flavor.
While on our walk we also came across a fruit bearing citrus with four different types of citrus growing from the grafted branches; Tangerine, Myer Lemon, Valencia Orange and Lime. It was a small tree in a large pot and had roughly a total of 15 citrus fruits growing on it. I was impressed considering how small the tree was.
After seeing that citrus tree I may join the local California Rare Fruit Growers Assoc. They share scionwood with members and I could do the same with my citrus trees. I assume I could also do the same with my guava. Hmmmmmm.....
