Purple Malay Guava

The Purple Malay Guava is one of those rare trees that earns its place in the garden twice over — first with its striking deep-hued foliage, then again when it delivers a generous crop of sweet, tropical fruit.

Native to Southeast Asia and perfectly suited to subtropical Australian climates, this vigorous grower thrives in warm, humid conditions with minimal fuss. Whether you're planting for the harvest or the aesthetics, it delivers on both.

Plant in a full-sun position with well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce once the tree is settled in. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
