Santa Cruz Guava Air Layered Healthy Fruit Plant

Color: * Exterior: The skin transitions from a vibrant, bright green when immature to a warm, soft light yellow or yellowish-green when fully ripe.

Interior: The flesh boasts a beautiful, striking salmon pink to deep rosy-red color, offering a gorgeous contrast to the skin.

Texture: * Skin: Thin, slightly bumpy or dimpled, and entirely edible.

Flesh: Thick, soft, and juicy with a creamy, smooth texture similar to a ripe pear.

Seeds: Contains a central cavity with small, hard edible seeds, though they are generally less intrusive than those found in wild guava varieties.

Size: * Typically small to medium-sized. They are generally round or slightly pear-shaped, averaging about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) in diameter—perfectly sized to fit in the palm of your hand.

Flavor: A delightful, tropical explosion. It is notably sweet with a mild, refreshing acidity.

Aroma: Highly fragrant. A ripe Santa Cruz guava will fill a room with a sweet, musky, and floral tropical scent.

Pro-Tip for Picking: To test for ripeness, give the fruit a gentle squeeze. It should yield slightly to pressure (like a ripe avocado) and give off a strong, sweet aroma.
