Peruvian White Guava Fruit Drop Problem

21 years ago

I have a white guava growing in a container. The tree is thriving like crazy almost 9-10 feet. It flowers and looks like it's going to set fruit but doesn't. Keep in mind that I have hundreds of fruit trees all around and lots of insects. The guavas in thr ground are setting fine. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with this one.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tamara

I am assuming that you have the guava in a greenhouse, right? So it isn't the cold... I'd think too much water?

Actually I am still moving and this guava is in Florida Zone 9. I may have a water problem because my citrus is spotting. This time of year it's one extreme to the next the humdity doesn't help. I'm not 100% that's what it is tho, it's in 15 gal container and doesn't get nearly as much water as my 3 gallon trees.
