Hardy Guava Collection

Our Chilean Guava collection produces an abundance of edible fruits. The shrubs only reach a foot or two in height, making them ideal for those with little space to fill. 

The Hardy Guava - Dwarf Fruit Shrub Collection contains one of each plant in either a 7cm or 8cm pot.

Ugni molinae - Chilean Guava (8cm tall): The Chilean Guava is an evergreen fruit shrub made up of tiny, dark green, simple leaves. Beautiful pink and yellow, bell-shaped flowers bloom from June, shortly followed by blackberry sized, red fruits. The fruits are not only full of wonderful strawberry and pineapple flavours, but they are also full of lycopene and vitamins. The berries are perfectly edible fresh or can be processed into jams, cakes or eaten dried. Start your morning right by adding them to your breakfast muesli or fruit salads. Ugni molinae is suitable for pot growing and can make an excellent bonsai subject.

Ugni montana - Mexican Mountain Guava (10cm tall): The Mexican Mountain Guava is a tiny fruiting evergreen shrub from mountainous Mexico. It produces fleshy, white-pink, bell shaped flowers in the summer which are then followed by pea sized, edible black berries. Withstands temperatures down to -10C.
