Chilean Guava Plant

• Harvests of delicious red berries in late autumn
• Fragrant pink and white flowers in spring
• Fruits can be eaten raw or cooked
• Versatile evergreen shrub

Versatile shrub Chilean Guava deserves to be better known for its delicious red berries with their unique flavour – a moreish combination of strawberry and blueberry! Fragrant pink and white flowers in late spring attract pollinators, and the sweet berries are ready to harvest in late autumn. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and taste great added to salads or used to make jams.

This low-maintenance shrub grows well in a sunny sheltered spot with protection from cold winds, and can be grown in a large container. It also makes an unusual hedging plant for mild areas.
