Yellow Cherry Guava Plant – Lemon Guava – Ipomoea batatas

Delicious, sweet, yellow aromatic fruit which doesn’t attract Fruit flies. Usually flowering and fruiting all year round under the right conditions. Yellow Cherry Guava is an easy-to-grow plant, that loves the sun or half-shade and moderate watering, however, the better the soil, the quicker and better it grows.

Planting and growing tips:

1. Give it a good drink and place it in a half-shade position out of the wind.
2. Leave it in the original pot for a few days until it recovers from the journey.
3. Repot or plant into the ground at the latest when the roots start to come out of the bottom holes.
4. Watering straight after planting is essential! From then on, regular watering until the plant establishes is highly recommended.
5. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.
6. You can expect the first fruit within 1-2 years after planting, depending on the growing conditions.

Additional notes:

• The price is for one young plant in a small pot, coming from the mother plant, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia. Sending within Australia only, not to NORFOLK ISLAND, NT, SA, TAS, or WA. Pick up by appointment only.
• Most of our nursery plants grow in a half-shade. Introducing them to the sun slowly before replanting them to their permanent position will promote healthy growth.
• Do your research before trying any new foods. Please also note our disclaimer in the footer of this page.
