One type of water guava that has the most advantages is the Jamaican guava. Even though it has a name like a country on the Caribbean islands, the fact is that guava is not native to that country. The origin of the Jamaican guava cannot be ascertained, but it is widely distributed in China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. The most obvious advantage of the Jamaican guava is its size.
The size of this fruit can reach 2 to 3 times the size of the water guava fruit in general. It has very beautiful pink flowers when they bloom.
The initial step that must be done before planting Jamaican guava is preparing the seeds. Jamaican guava seeds can be obtained by generative and vegetative methods.
Clean the land from bushes, wild grass and other disturbing objects such as wooden branches and stones. Loosen the land using a hoe. Make a planting hole measuring 50 x 50 cm or 80 x 80 cm. Add 20 kg of manure to the planting hole as basic fertilizer. Wait 7 to 10 days until the planting hole is completely ready for planting.
Jamaican guava plants can be harvested 2 to 3 years after planting. Fruit that is ready to be harvested is characterized by its large size, even red color and emitting a slight aroma. Pick the Jamaican guava fruit from the stem to harvest. Collect and put Jamaican guavas in a basket so they don't get damaged easily.
