Psidium guajava 'Mexican White', commonly known as Mexican Cream Guava or Mexican White Guava, is a beloved tropical evergreen fruit tree prized for its exceptionally sweet, creamy, and aromatic fruit. Native to Mexico and Central America, this vigorous grower features large, glossy, dark green leaves with prominent veins and distinctive copper-colored bark that peels away to reveal shades of pink and green. From spring through summer, it produces fragrant white flowers with prominent creamy-yellow stamens that are self-pollinating. The fruit is pear-shaped with green skin and creamy white, juicy flesh containing small, hard seeds that soften as the fruit ripens. The flavor is sweet-tart with a dense, creamy texture, making it perfect for fresh eating, slicing into desserts and salads, or processing into jellies, purees, and juices. An outstanding choice for tropical and subtropical edible landscapes, it is also well-suited for container growing in cooler climates.
