Help with my guava trees...

I have pineapple and strawberry guava trees in pots. The pineapple just dropped 50% of its leaves and I'm trying to understand why. It's in full sun, was growing happily, but since our last rain was several weeks ago, I have it a good drink a few days ago. Boom! The leaves dropped.

The strawberry suffered a bit during the winter and I had it against a south wall that gets too hot, so I just moved it to the east side and potted it up to a bigger pot since it grew last year.

Does anyone growing these in a similar zone (or just smart about guavas!) have some tips for me?

The pineapple is replacing its leaves, Dean, but the strawberry is a goner. I suspect I'll have to put the pineapple in the ground this fall, if I can find somewhere I can amend the soil. We're considering raised beds for some fruit trees - our soil here is awful except for native plants.

Thanks for the reply.
