This is a very impressive pineapple guava. I have one that is about five feet tall, and it is covered in blooms. I live in zone 8 in central Texas and I was not sure that it would be hardy here; however, it has stayed green year round for several years and is going great. It has not had any fruit and I was wondering if you have to have two for there to be any. It's a wonderful tree.

This tree is at Schumaker's Hill Country Gardens in New Braunfels, TX. They have it in a very protected place, and only one of them! Whether it has produced fruit, I don't know. I loved this tree - just beautiful!

Is this tree limbed up or naturally without many lower branches. The trunk and bark are very nice!

Dea,

I think you are looking at the picture in the foreground, which is not the pinapple guava - it's something else. Unfortunately, it was in the way of this, but there was nothing else I could do since I couldn't find a different place to take a picture.

The growth habit of this pineapple guava seemed to be like a crepe myrtle.

It looks to me like a pineapple guava hedge across the background. Are these the pineapple guavas, or is there supposed to be only one pineapple guava in the photo?

There's only one pineapple guava in that picture.
