Psidium friedrichsthalianum

Costa Rican guava

Medium-sized tree up to 15 metres in height with a densely branched crown and leathery, shiny, elliptical leaves with wavy edges. The fruits are spherical, yellowish-green in colour and contain numerous small hard seeds.

In Costa Rica and Nicaragua, almost the only places they can be obtained, the fruits are enjoyed as a refreshing drink mixed with milk or water and sugar.

This guava is one of five different varieties in our tropical garden. As soon as it bears fruit, it will be harvested when ripe and sold in the shop or given to the kitchen for tastings.
