Guava ‘Tikal’ (Psidium guajava)

‘Tikal’ is an excellent cultivar of the standard commercial guava. The large yellow-skinned fruit (about the size of a baseball) has sweet pink flesh and the tree fruits on and off year-round. Our plants are cutting grown so they begin fruiting at a young age often by the time they are 2’ in height. The more sun and warmth they receive, the more fruit they will produce. ‘Tikal’ is an early bloomer and it makes a fine subject for containers where it can be easily maintained between 2-4’ tall. This pest-and-disease-free fruit is a great selection for the beginning fruit gardener.
