our guava tree

from wikipedia -
Guava fruits, usually 4 to 12 centimetres (1.6 to 4.7 in) long, are round or oval depending on the species.[2] They have a pronounced and typical fragrance, similar to lemon rind but less sharp. The outer skin may be rough, often with a bitter taste, or soft and sweet. Varying between species, the skin can be any thickness, is usually green before maturity, but becomes yellow, maroon, or green when ripe. The pulp inside may be sweet or sour and off-white ("white" guavas) to deep pink ("red" guavas). The seeds in the central pulp vary in number and hardness, depending on species.

So interesting to have this tree in our yard. I may just have to pick some of the fruits and see what they are like! My mom used to buy Guava jelly for toast when we were growing up . . .  I think we have the "apple guava" tree because the flower shown on the wikipedia page looks just like the ones we have on our tree. Tiny, beautiful white flowers. A lovely addition to our yard thanks to designer Ann Hall
