It is a rare, hybrid Brazilian succulent, but it is not known which plants it is. It appeared, in an uncontrolled way, as far as I know, in a Brazilian succulent grower. The name is a nickname and it is not officially registered on the website crassulaceae.ch.
The name is associated with the green and pink colors that resemble a guava, because the skin is green and the inner part is pink.
The small guava is a monstrous Echeveria. The term "monstrous" is given for a genetic anomaly that can occur in plants, as well as variegata and cristata. A monstrous plant looks different than normal, with oddly shaped leaves, streaks and crumple deformation. All features present in guava.
And a detail about this little plant is that it can reach a height of 20 centimeters, that is, a small echeveria.
It appears to be quite susceptible to fungi. Therefore, it is recommended to pass fungicide (copper sulfate), every 15 days.
Our guava trees always produce more fruits than their branches can support. Our gardener prunes the trees heavily, but still, every tree bears too many fruits. This particular variety of apple guava loses lots of leaves on its bottom branches during harvesting seasons.
We have two feijoa trees on our property - Feijoa, also known as pineapple guava or guavasteen, is what we call it. They resemble olive trees in color, with sage-like leaves, and grow quite slowly. They’re supposed to bear fruit, but they’ve never produced much. I guess these trees need a bit more love and attention than they’ve been getting, so I’ll work on that.
This season, they produced about 5-6 fruits total, and this is one of them.
Feijoas are very popular in New Zealand, I’ve heard that almost every house has one. Is that true?
Our feijoa tree is covered with buds, and this is its first bloom. Interestingly, it’s the only bloom so far, the rest are still buds.
The sprawling guava tree in our garden is laden with fruit, its branches bowing under the weight of a bountiful harvest. Intriguingly, I've spotted a few delicate white blossoms interspersed among the developing fruit.
What's special about our apple guava trees is that they produce fruit twice a year, giving us two harvests to enjoy.
This biannual fruiting cycle not only doubles our yield but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the tree's life cycle, with fruits and flowers coexisting in a harmonious display of nature's abundance.😍
There was a pineapple guava tree blooming on the SDSU campus. I wonder who collects the fruit? 😋 I have planted this type of guava in my garden few weeks ago. Hoping for some flowers soon.
Pentacon with its 33cm MFD did pretty good at this close-up, imho.

My friend found this one while we were participating in the City Nature Challenge on iNaturalist last weekend. So far, I have uploaded over 1000 observations of over 387 species. When shooting that much, there isn't time to get artistic, but this guy looked too good to not to get a nice shot.
at the front is a delicious fruit , guava
many people in asia make a living from pushing carts around to sell stuff if they are lacking opportunities .

This strikingly colorful and lively little bird is enjoying an abundance of summer ripening strawberry guava along a Koolau hiking trail. It sings a melodic song, but is most noticed when loudly chattering a harsh warning at passing hikers from the rainforest understory, usually peeking through several layers of foliage at the recipient of its chatter. Native to southern China, the red-billed leiothrix was a popular cage bird released into the wild in Hawaii a century ago. Strawberry guava is a tasty treat while hiking, though considered an invasive species and allelopathic, choking out native forests. Sorry if the photo title sounds like a dessert recipe.
Guava is a plant in the tribe or Myrtaceae originating from Southeast Asia. Guava water is actually different from cashew semarang (Syzygium samarangense), close relatives who have trees and fruit almost similar. Some cultivars are even difficult to distinguish, so both are often named by the common name guava water or cashew. Cashew water is easy to plant and in cultivation.
In the myrtle family this plant does not produce either pineapples or guavas. It grows as a shrub or small tree in South America.
" Yes! It's the little people in the world who try to make you feel small. Surround yourself with those who are striving for great things and you too will find your greatness. There are always going to be people who try to bring you down but that's what happens when they haven't yet found their happiness, don't let them affect yours..."
