Description
THIS AUCTION IS FOR 1 THAI GUAVA TREE
ALREADY FRUITING MARCOT
A MARCOT IS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN A GRAFTED TREE .
A MARCOT IS A CUTTING GROWN ON A FRUITING TREE SO IT WILL BEAR EXACTLY THE SAME FRUIT AS THE TREE IT WAS TAKEN FROM AND WILL ALSO BEAR FRUIT AS QUICK , SOMETIMES EVEN QUICKER THAN A GRAFTED TREE.
A MARCOT IS ALSO A LOT EASIER TO MAINTAIN THAN A GRAFTED TREE .
A GRAFTED TREE IS MADE UP OF (THE ROOT STOCK) WHICH IS THE BOTTOM PART OF THE TREE AND THE (SCION) WHICH IS THE TOP PART OF THE TREE.THE (SCION) IS CHOSEN FROM A TREE THAT ALREADY BEARS FRUIT AND IS PUT ON TOP OF A (ROOT STOCK) TREE THAT IS NORMALLY GROWN FROM A SEED.
THIS IS WHY A GRAFTED TREE BEARS FRUIT QUICKER THAN A TREE GROWN FROM A SEED BUT IT ALSO MEANS THE SEEDLING (ROOT STOCK) AT THE BOTTOM OF A GRAFTED TREE WILL ALSO KEEP GROWING AND SHOOTING OUT IT'S OWN BRANCHES
IF THE (ROOT STOCK) PART OF THE GRAFTED TREE ISN'T PRUNED BACK ALL THE TIME IT WILL STEAL ENERGY FROM THE (SCION) AT THE TOP OF THE GRAFT AND CAN OVERTAKE THE TREE RESULTING IN GROWING A SEEDLING TREE INSTEAD OF A GRAFTED TREE.
A MARCOT IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM A TREE THAT IS ALREADY FRUITING SO IT WILL ALSO BEAR FRUIT QUICKLY JUST LIKE A GRAFTED TREE SOMETIMES EVEN QUICKER.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MARCOT AND A GRAFTED TREE IS THAT A MARCOT DOES NOT NEED A ROOT STOCK OR A SCION AS IT GROWS ROOTS ON THE TREE ITSELF AND THEN IS CUT OFF AND POTTED UP SO IT CAN GROW ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT THE NEED FOR GRAFTING.
THIS MEANS THAT A MARCOT WILL NEVER NEED TO PE PRUNED AS THERE IS NO GRAFT FOR THE TREE TO COMPETE WITH SO IT IS MUCH EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND ALL OF THE ENERGY FROM THE ROOTS ONLY GO INTO GROWING THE TREE.
IN THE TROPICS CROPS LIKE LYCHEES AND RAMBUTANS ARE ONLY GROWN FROM MARCOTS SO IT GOES TO SHOW THAT MARCOTS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS GRAFTED TREES.
THE ROOT STOCKS USED FOR MOST GRAFTED TREES ARE ALSO ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH COOLER CLIMATES SO IF YOU LIVE IN WARMER CLIMATES YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OFF TO GROW MARCOTS THAN GRAFTED TREES AS THE ROOT STOCK WILL MORE THAN LIKELY DIE AND SO WILL YOUR TREE.
CITRUS TREES GROWN FROM MARCOTS ARE NATURALLY SEMI DWARFED WHICH IS GREAT FOR SMALL YARDS.THIS ALSO MEANS THEY NEED LESS PRUNING.
PLEASE NOTE. .THIS TREE WILL ONLY HAVE FRUIT OR FLOWERS ON THEM DURING THEIR FRUITING SEASON.

The crunchy flesh and hard seeds are both edible.The guava also has many health benefits as listed below.
GROWING INFORMATION
The Thai Guava is a very hard fruit tree that can be grown in many reagions of Australia .They can also grow in many types of soils and can also be either grown in the ground or in a pot.They
Guavas grow more like a shrub than a tree so they can be pruned right back or can be left to grow naturally.
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
-
Guava is low in calories and fats but carry several vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant polyphenolic and flavonoid compounds that play a pivotal role in the prevention of cancers, aging, infections, etc.
-
The fruit is a very rich source of soluble dietary fiber (5.4 g per 100 g of fruit, about 14% of RDI, which makes it a good bulk laxative. The fiber content helps protect the colon mucosa by decreasing exposure time to toxins as well as binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon.
-
Guava-fruit is an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin-C. 100 g fresh fruit provides 228 mg of this vitamin, more than three times the required RDI (recommended- daily intake). Flesh just underneath its thick outer rind composes exceptionally higher levels of vitamin-C than its inner creamy pulp.
-
Scientific studies suggest that regular consumption of fruits rich in vitamin-C helps the human body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge cancer causing harmful free radicals from the body. Further, it is essential for collagen synthesis within the body. Collagen is one of the chief structural protein in the human body necessary for maintaining the integrity of blood vessels, skin, organs, and bones.
-
The fruit is a very good source of Vitamin-A, and flavonoids like beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and cryptoxanthin. The compounds are known to have antioxidant properties and therefore essential for optimum health. Further, is also critical to maintaining healthy mucosa and skin. Consumption of natural fruits rich in carotene is known to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
-
100 g of pink guava fruit provides 5204 µg of lycopene, nearly twice the amount than in tomatoes. (100 g tomato contains 2573 µg of lycopene). Studies suggest that lycopene in pink guavas prevents skin damage from UV rays and offer protection from prostate cancer.
-
Fresh fruit is a very rich source of potassium. It contains more potassium than other fruits like banana weight per weight. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.
-
Further, the fruit is also a moderate source of B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin E and K, as well as minerals like magnesium, copper, and manganese. The human body uses manganese as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper required for the production of red blood cells.
