    This evaluation is 7 months after the plants were purchased. In February 2024, I purchased a little guava plant that could have grown to be a foot or so. However, after just around seven months, it has begun to bear fruit. I currently have around five fruits and six or eight buds. Now, the plant is about 4 feet tall. I would always advise purchasing any plants from the nursery Live. My Son loves to eat Guava grown on our own Terrace. Thank You NurseryLive Team.
