Mrs.Sarala, a trained Fruit tree plantation expert says"Guava trees are relatively easy to grow and can thrive in tropical and subtropical regions. They're packed with vitamins A and C, and are a good source of fiber and antioxidants 

To start a guava fruit garden, you'll need to choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Guava trees prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (5-7) and temperatures between 15°C to 35°C.

Planting*: Plant guava trees in the monsoon season (June-September) for best results.

Watering*: Water young trees every 2-3 days, and reduce watering to once a week for mature trees.

Fertilization,Use a balanced fertilizer (6-6-6 or 8-8-8) 3-4 times a year.

Pruning,Prune guava trees in late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
