With this purchase you will receive 20 seeds of strawberry guava - in this case the yellow fruited form. Seeds from this batch have been germination tested and are easy to grow. Just put in pots and cover with about 5mm seed raising mix. Seeds seem to require warm temperatures (around 25°C) to germinate.

Psidium cattleianum (sometimes spelled cattleyanum), is a small tree (2–6 m tall), although in New Zealand it is often kept as a small bush only about 1m tall. The red fruited variety is sweeter, but not as juicy in my opinion - always seems more concentrated. Can be used as a hedge with the bonus of also having edible berries.


You have the option of sending via regular air mail or expedited shipping. If you need a tracking number, please choose the expedited shipping option even though it is more expensive, because if you opt for regular mail, I cannot provide tracking. 

If your address is in South America, Arabian Peninsula or Africa you MUST choose expedited shipping. Normal mail often does not seem to get to these destinations from New Zealand. 

Expedited shipping takes less than 1 week worldwide. Regular mail to the rest of the world (apart from the above geographical regions) often takes 4-6 weeks. Please do not complain if you haven't received your seeds after 2 weeks. If you live in Greece, or neighbouring countries please be aware that it is not unusual for regular mail from New Zealand to take 8 weeks to reach you.
