Tony: An article in Fruit Gardener magazine rated 'Tropic White' and 'Tropic Pink' as the author's favorite varieties. I too am trying to find out what are the best types to grow, so please make sure to tell us what you think of the fruit from your plants.

I have not heard of pineapple pink, what is it and where did you get it?
I often pop threw the Home Depot or Orchards supply and just look threw the guavas to see if I find one that is "compelling". Good find!

Oops I meant Tropic pink guava. I'm trying to grow a pineapple plant from a crown and I must have pineapple in my head.
