Ramsey Pineapple Guava is an excellent choice for the Pacific Northwest, valued for its exceptionally large fruit and sweet, flavorful flesh. This variety grows upright with an appealing form and produces fruit in mid-season. Its dark, glossy green leaves have a silvery underside, complemented by striking flowers that feature crimson centers and sweet pink petals, often likened to cotton candy in flavor. The fruit that follows is dark green, apricot-sized or larger, with a unique blend of mint and pineapple flavors. Naturally compact and highly drought-tolerant, Pineapple Guava is a resilient and attractive addition to any garden.
