Psidium cattleyanum is known as the strawberry, cattley or cherry guava. It is related to the common guava (Psidium guavaja) but has much smaller, crimson red fruit that have the essence of strawberry in a fragrant, juicy, sweet-tart pulp. Guava trees grow quickly and can begin fruiting on young plants. Hardy to -5.5 degrees Celsius or zone 9b, it's a worthwhile container specimen for fans of tropical fruits and bold foliage that won't need tons of heat to protect over the winter though it is best to protect indoors keeping plants above freezing.
