The Marion Pineapple Guava is a recent cultivar known for its abundant harvests of medium to large fruits with exceptionally high sugar levels. These fruits mature early and are ideal for fresh consumption. The plant displays dark, glossy green leaves with a silvery underside and distinctive flowers featuring crimson centers and sweet pink petals. Its flavor is often likened to cotton candy. After flowering, it produces dark green fruits, apricot-sized or larger, with a unique blend of mint and pineapple flavors. Naturally compact, this variety is also among the most drought-tolerant plants available.
