Actually, Psidium guajava fruit contains small amounts of a compound that is mildly stimulating. If I remember correctly (probably not) it envigorates the blood system and not the nervous system.
Everyone who likes guavas enjoys the variety "Thai Pink". There is a good white variety called "White" or "Indonesian White". These are propagated en mass by wholesalers: you might just find one at a Fort Worth nursery with a good selection of fruit trees. As of yesterday, they were for sale at my local Home Depot store here in San Diego. There is also an active CRFG chapter in Texas which can probably help you as well: see "local chapters" under
California Rare Fruit Growers.
