Hello, I am in zone 10A and I grow Red Malaysian guava and Mexican Cream Guava. Both are very sweet and have a tropical flavor. I have noticed extreme heat will force the guavas to fall off the tree before they have a chance to grow full size and ripen. This changes the flavor of the fruit. 😌

When I first encountered guavas a few years ago, I would have sworn that a cat had peed in the room. You couldn't have paid me to eat them. Now, I can't get enough of them! If their crazy smell wafts in the grocery store, I'm drawn like a magnet. I grew 2 trees from seed and the one that has fruited was delightful. Guava is blended into many drinks and I think it has good vitamin C (hence the tart strawberry / pineapple vibe) and you guys might just grow to love it! Don't forget their best attribute, beautiful leaves that LOVE THE HEAT :) I should also mention that I did eventually try them because there are some white varieties that are eaten crunchy and less ripe (in Asia I think) and don't have the smell. It was my "gateway guava" so to speak.

A guavarama! Thank you for taking us along on the adventure, that was fun.

I love your honesty….great video!

I live in Peoria, AZ. and I’m growing two guava types, pink and tropical. I prefer the pink one although I don’t eat the skin. Also mango and avacado grow here, I have one of each but they haven’t produced yet. Keep up the great content!

LOL i love this video. i very much appreciate the real honest reactions.

HELLO YOU ARE SOOO CUTE especially when you're tasting food, your expressions on your faces. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU BOTH ARE DOING. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ON YOUR FARM.

Great video! You guys should try Cattley Guava. There are two varieties, Lemon Guava (yellow) & Strawberry Guava (red). The fruits of both types are sweet with some tartness and no typical guava aroma or flavor.. The fruits are small but the compact ornamental trees are prolific and you can be eating these tasty treats for months.

I grew up eating guavas and I find the guavas in the stores here in Canada to be bland. I blame it on long storage or harvesting before they are ready. Also, the seedy part is where flavor resides. Don't chew the seeds: Just gently chew the fruit and stop before you crash the seeds. That's how you disperse the seeds 😉 . And, there are salty red/ pink guavas too. I'd like to see your faces when you try them.

I was waiting for this! I think I'll wait for your "Pink Guava." The jury is out!

As they say in English, Alo, Alo Oy! You just cured me on guavas. hasta

Guavas are one of the best tasting fruits out there. I honestly feel like he is such a biggggggg picky baby.... We all have different tatses buds I understand, but bro come on.

Pineapple guavas are cold hardy so that's what we're growing here in the high desert. The first time I tried it I was just blown away by the comlex fruity, perfumey, tangy taste. I do love floral flavors though!

I recommend to keep trying and the key is to make sure they are at a good stage of ripeness. I'm not a guava expert by any means, but I do like the flavor profile of guavas in general. My favorite guavas so far, and I highly recommend you try these, are pineapple guava, lemon guava and Mexican cream guava mostly because these can be very sweet if eaten at the correct ripeness. There are several varieties of pineapple guava aka Feijoas. I've also had some horrible guavas that were growing in the wild which were sour and/or bitter.

The best guava is the one that you go to your tree in the morning and pick up from the ground or that just by touching them on the tree they fall by themselves, I sometimes shake the branch.

Pink guavas are the one for fresh eating hands down

I’m not a fan of guavas but it was a funny video, thank you for sharing and for the laughs.

eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

🤣 hi neighbors! 😂 Oh no, You are making me worried about our pineapple and strawberry guavas!! I like the unique taste of guava in drinks. Maybe add honey or sweetener to the fresh fruit? Our guavas have only flowered for the 1st time this past spring but no actual fruit set yet. I'm anxious and super curious how our fruit will taste in the next few years, lol Cheers 🥂

Interesting fruit. I only purchase mix with other tropical fruits, but I have drink pure guava juice in Mexico

I suggest you try egyptian guava, it tastes very good, I can't say the best as I didn't try as much as you but I promise you won't regret trying it.

Try to eat the mature white guavas when they're firm, crunchy. Best guavas: seedless white and ruby, crystal, queen...

You should try lemon guava I grow it and the fruit is delicious.

We don't actually eat very ripe guavas as you do. We pick and eat them still a little firm. Very ripe guavas are usually reserved for jams or for cooking a kind of soup (sinigang sa bayabas) Glad to see you got to try the purple/red Malaysian 🤣, not what I expected though but try planting it. It's a very pretty purple/red plant. My last suggestion for guavas would be if you can find the big kilo variety of guavas. At least that one you can't go wrong, they are big (hence the kilo - they weigh that much) and have more flesh than seed parts. They are eaten green (unripe) either on its own or a bit of chili salt.

Loving your videos more and more. Great to see humor in your everyday life. Dont often see it on must gardening channels. Following yous all the way. 👍

It's so interesting, because I've had 5 or 6 different types of Guavas and I love them all! (except Pineapple Guava which are a little but too floral for me).

HI from Mesa AZ

I’ve heard the lemon and strawberry guava are good. I’ve been looking to buy a lemon guava to try it out.

I think you guys just don’t like Guavas

Your reactions were so funny. Good show as always.

We have the Ruby Supreme here in South Florida; matter fact it was bred here. The Ruby Supreme grown here is usually the size of a duck egg. Also, when served as a fresh fruit, we spoon out the seeds. Too uncomfortable to eat.

Give some to your animals. The vitamin c content is incredible..

Excellent video. Sometime I bought Guava from Asian market and Walmart , Today I went to Local Hongkong asian market to buy jujube fruit which is Shanxi Li. test was not good. I cracked the seeds, I did not find any jujube kernel inside seeds. those jujube set fruits by self-pollination.

Try indian guavas if u really want great taste

Hi from Vegas NV USA 🙆🏻‍♀️🇺🇸 I have Ruby Supreme guava, and barbie pink guava, and red Malaysian guava and my favorite it's the Ruby Supreme guava!🙆🏻‍♀️❤🍐🌳🍐

Maybe you should stick to apples and peaches 😅

it’s like a pear crossed with a strawberry. Guavas are delicious.

always feed the unwanted fruit to the piggy's.

I grew up on guavas. here in west covina Ca, guavas will grow like weeds and are extremely productive. even the best tasting guava to me is mediocre. my neighbor has a giant guava tree that also produces massive crops and his fruit is absolutely repulsive lol.

To me, I am not a fan of guava as an eating fruit. I am a fan of growing pink guava varieties for juicing, homemade BBQ sauces, or making pastes and jams. Hope this helps.

Fully ripe guavas are bird food or jam pot. Try to pick them when they're semi ripe and crispy like an apple.

guavas are best before they get soft or fully ripe. fully ripe their mushy

I planted a ruby supreme guava in 2021, it served hurricane Ian. The tree started at 4ft, now has been kept to 8ft. first fruit bearing was 2 and they grew to about baseball size. Not too much flavor, but adding sugar and lemon, tasted like store bought juice (really good). So I loaded up the tree with lots of tree food and 6 months later, tree had around 140 green guava slightly bigger than golf balls. Tropical sweet to me, really isn't sweet. as I thought guava would be sweet like Fuji apples, but they are not. I know this because I bought fresh guava from supermarket, and they tasted just like my tree fruit. Anywho, ruby supreme guava tree now bears fruit year around, with flowers, green fruit, and ripe fruit all the time. In the short time my tree literally has given me almost 400 fresh fruit. It makes really good juice as long as you add lemon juice and sugar. Now I'm working on my first macadamia nut tree.

I knew this was going to be good. I love fruit. You name it; I eat it. Berries, yep; limes, lemons, anything... (I bet you see this coming)... I do not like guava. Yes, they can be very/quite sweet; but the actual 'flavor' leaves much to be desired (the best way I can think of putting it). I can eat them, but they are at the VERY bottom of my list of fruit (right next to dates).

I'm in warm temperate Melbourne Australia and my Mexican creams size of billiard ball very creamy almost sweet killer hard seeds so sold - now fruiting an aromatic seedless and orange fleshed variety that whwn I come home i think i left the ggas cooker on - now gtrowin Egyptian Long neck cutting witl taste in 2 to 3y😊😮

Wow, that initial reaction was so unexpected, especially because I grow a ton of guava and we just love it.

Ive heard that ruby supreme are more pear shape.

Hello. I’m in the east valley on flood irrigation. Those guavas look very small. I have Ruby Supreme, Barbie Pink, Tikal, Thai White, Peruvian White, and Tropic Pink (the grown-from- seed variety the Big Boxes get from LaVerne Nursery). Anyway, guava is an acquired taste. I like them but my family does not and they are overwhelmed by the strong fragrance. Tree ripe is best but invariably they will drop in your hand and need a day or so to counter ripen. Love the videos and thank you.

Love your faces when you hate three taste of something😆😆😆

Hi guys! The glee I felt at Duane’s reaction when he ate the gross one was similar to when I convince someone to try my salsa made with superhot chilis, 😂. The acid test to find out weather a fruit is truly inedible is to give it to the chickens, if they won’t touch it, you know it’s disgusting, haha. I love growing stuff but not necessarily eating it all so having chickens and worm compost bins helps me not feel guilty about wasting produce 😆

I think half of those weren’t ripe. Mexican cream guava is very soft and sweet (and bigger) when ripe and good.

You're not supposed to bite the guava seeds. Just swallow them.

Just came across your channel. Love seeing you both try Red Malaysian guava. Ive been trying to get viable fresh seeds from various countries with no germination success. Would love to know if there is anyone willing to sell fresh malaysian guava seeds and post to the UK.

Well I am hoping that the Red Malaysian Guava will taste better if its picked at the correct ripeness. I just planted one and was hoping it would be a lot like a Hong Kong Pink Guava.

If you can’t smell guavas….. You probably wanna get tested for covid 🥴

Hi from vegas! My favorite guava it's so far Ruby Supreme guava! I have 2 of those one in the ground and one in a huge pot...and I have a red Malaysian guava too in a huge pot, and I just Order one more for my collection call Barbie pink guava it's one of the biggest guavas!💁🏻‍♀️🌳🍐🌳🍐🌳🍐

In regards to your Mexican cream guava, where did you purchase this tree? thank you

I got some lemon guava from walmart last summer that were ok but they were loaded with seeds and so far I have not been able to get any of them to germinate. I have some pink ans some strawberry guava seedlings I started back last summer so I don't have any fruit from them yet but they are going to have to be container plants because the winters here will kill them. I hope they are better than what you thought of the ones you taste tested. I would like to try some of the Chilean guavas one variety was supposed to be one of the English queens favorites, and the flavors described by the guy who was taste testing them sounded really good those are about 1/2" or so in diameter depending on the variety.

Ruby supreme is usually a very big fruit. Bigger than a naval orange sometimes. All those fruits looked really underdeveloped

So Have you planted Pineapple Guava? I was able to buy a couple of tress or bushes (depends on how they are grown) Several years ago, I never got a crop after the first year, I showed my little guy that the Blossoms were sweet and edible and every year the blossoms just seemed to vanish before the pollination process finished. -MG

All under ripe fruit

Why would two people who obviously don’t like guava do videos of taste testing guava! 😅

You need to feed your plants.

i have a strawberry, a ruby supreme, a thai white and on that i grew from seeds of a guava my cause sent from cali, its supposed to be a thai white but it looks different.

It’s best to make them into jams or mixed with mango in a smoothie, it needs sugar added to get the best flavor out of it in my experience.

If you can’t smell them they’re not ripe at all

I don't know if you guys tried this or not. It is a different variety of guava from Egypt: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa-jhpeLyNPNmHU.html Put that in your kitchen. Smell it from your bedroom. It is sweet and the flesh is very tender. Try egyptian guava juice as well.

Yeah…. Unripe guavas are nasty….. 😂😂😂😂. If you have extras, let them ripen in the counter before trying to eat anymore.

If you're looking for strawberry flavor in every fruit.. You should just stick to eating strawberries. It's really funny to see this video as i find guavas really delicious and strawberries too sour. Ps you are eating rotten guavas..too ripe

Your white Guava was not ripe.
