Title: Strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum)
Post by: davholla on September 26, 2007, 17:37:17

I bought 3 small plants of this the other day (only £1 each).
Anyone ever grown it before ? Any advice

No, but it's on my 'Hmmm' list.

I'm growing some Guava (Psidium guajava) - only babies at the mo but fingers crossed.

Hang on a sec - the most important question - where on earth did you get these for a quid?!!    ;D

I bought them at an exhibition but I can not remember who from.

Thanks for that, Davholla. Now, can I be first in the queue for some seeds off your mature plants?

 ;D ;D ;D

Yes, although they are quite small - but I will report my success or failure next year.
