Masses of fruit on the Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleyanum) native to the Amazonian Basin in Brazil. Unfortunately it’s very attractive to Queensland Fruit Flies (Bactrocera tryoni) and also the possums, fruit bats and bush rats so the battle for the fruit is now on. I hope to make more jam and cordial from the fruit if I can get enough before the grubs, possums, fruit bats and rats get to it. To get the nice flavour and red colour for cordial & jam I need ripe fruit so I have to balance ripe with eager “critters”. #StrawberryGuava #PsidiumCattleyanum #fruit #flowers #abcmygarden #fruitfly #possum #FruitBat #spider #JumpingSpider (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjwNy-vkNq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strawberry guava flowers are so pretty! It’s a beautiful tree to use in garden design too! #alfordsgardens #guava #strawberryguava #tree #edible #gardenlove #landscapedesigner #gardenplans #ediblegarden (at Alford's English Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdmAgIoP2DJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strawberry Guava (Psidium cattleyanum) native range is the Amazonian Basin in Brazil. Unfortunately it’s very attractive to Queensland Fruit Flies (Bactrocera tryoni) so the battle for the fruit is now on. I hope to make more jam and cordial from the fruit If I can get enough before the grubs, possums and fruit bats get to it. I’ve got this lure that’s supposed to attract and kill the female flies but they are much more interested in my fruit than the lure. To get the nice flavour and red colour for cordial & jam I need ripe fruit so I have to balance ripe with eager fruit flies. #strawberryguava #fruit #flowers #mygarden #myplants #homegrown #fruitfly #queensland #queensland-fruitfly #queenslandfruitfly #australiangardens #australiangarden (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaB66RZJoxF/?utm_medium=tumblr

A little taste of Summer in this beer from Caboose brewing. Not bad! #strawberryguava #sourale #sundaydinner #sushi https://www.instagram.com/p/CXrqgc8unMxCGergpPcnSs02nhP0SrPfFRmRTM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seems like we’re about to experience an abundance of cattley guava! Rich in vitamin C and potassium, these delicious treats are definitely something to look forward to. This fruit is native to eastern Brazil and Uraguay where it grows in tropical and warm subtropical climates and can be found throughout tropical and Subtropical America but uncommon in places like Africa and Asia. I’ve only tasted one so far and it was so interesting. I kind of need to taste more to really get to know this fruit but I’ve read that they can also be used to make dessert fillings, jellies and jams. Even the seeds, like other guavas, can be roasted and used as a coffee substitute. ・・・ #growninhaiti #psidiumcattleyanumlittorale #cattleyguava #strawberryguava #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #agroforestry #diversity #abundance #growth #flowering #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #fruits #tropicalfruits https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0fJEUluR2/?igshid=11qgwx11ohr23
