The Yellow Lemon Guava, a variety of Strawberry Guava, is a delicious and highly ornamental small tree or large shrub. It produces an abundance of small, smooth, bright yellow fruit with translucent, lemon-yellow flesh. The flavor is a unique and complex blend of sweet, tart, and intensely fragrant, reminiscent of strawberries, lemons, and tropical flowers. Incredibly hardy, pest-resistant, and adaptable, it's perfect for edible hedging, containers, or as a low-maintenance fruiting specimen in warm-temperate to tropical gardens.
