One of the easiest tropical fruiting plants to grow for the beginning fruit gardener, ‘Ruby Supreme’ has baseball-sized fruits that turn yellow when ripe. The inner flesh is highly aromatic, sweet and pink. It can be eaten fresh or made into jelly or juice. For optimum sweetness, let the fruit fully ripen on the tree when the skin yields slightly to the touch. ‘Ruby Supreme’ flowers and fruits year-round in cycles that last 60-90 days between flowering and ripe fruit. For container grown guavas, we recommend pruning the shrub to create a bushy plant that’s as wide as it is tall. The more sun and warmth they receive, the more fruit they produce. Guava Germination: 1) Scarify by Boiling the seeds for five minutes prior to planting them to soften the tough outside and encourage germination rates. 2) Cover the seed with just a small amount of seed -starter mix. Use a heated propagator under keep the soil around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and keep it moist by misting it whenever the top of the soil surface feels dry. 3) As with any Tropical or Exotic, patience is need as some will germinate in two weeks, while others could take over eight weeks. Definitely more than worth the wait!
