| Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had experience growing guava trees in the South SF Bay Area? We're located in Santa Clara county and our yard gets lots of sun throughout the day, but not sure if the winters are too cold for the tree. We're looking at the apple guava types like white indonesian seedless. Please chime in if growing good guava is possible here! |

| California Rare Fruit Growers site implies you might be able to, especially if you can give the young tree frost protection. |

| Yes - friends grow these very successfully in San Jose. They do cover with burlap on any nights there might be frost. |

| We (SJ) had a strawberry guava that did very well every year, but we cut it down last year due to problems that had nothing to do with the tree. It was a good 15-20 feet tall (how old?) and we never covered it in the winter. |
