L-49 Guava Live Plant (Psidium Guajava) - Fruit Tree

Also known as 'Sardar', the L-49 is a leading commercial guava variety in India, celebrated for its robust growth and abundant fruit production. This vigorous and highly productive tree guarantees a satisfying harvest of large, round fruits. Each guava features a creamy white, sweet pulp with a delightful aroma and very few seeds, making it a favorite for fresh eating, juices, and preserves.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile loamy soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
