Topic: Guava in a greenhouse

[davholla]

Do people think that guava plants will survive the winter in an unheated greenhouse?  I do live in the outskirts of London.

Is your greenhouse big enough?  We had a guava TREE in Barbados - when I was a child I used to climb it to pick the guavas.

They are not that big yet.  If they go out the wife will be very happy.

Not exactly the same species I know, but I grow Feijoia (Pineapple Guava) in large pots outdoors here in Camden. They're fine:

Mind you if yours have been indoors till now expect a massive sulk when you put them out!

I am worried about the sulk if I don't.

Can't you get hold of a last-minute petrol-station bouquet to ward it off?

No - nice presents don't help with too many plants in the house.

I should have waited until it got warmer.  They all have very dropping leaves.  I have watered them and given them asprin and taken them in the house.
Any other ideas?  Will they recover?
