Introduction / General Information
Grape Guava, botanically known as Psidium guineense, is a charming tropical species celebrated for its unique grape-sized fruits and rich aroma. Native to South and Central America and now naturalized across many tropical regions, this compact fruiting shrub is widely recognized under names like Brazilian Guava, Castilian Guava, Guinea Guava, and Goyavier du Brésil.
