"a Fort Worth nursery". Last summer I met a woman at the CRFG Fruit Festival who lives in Fort Worth. She was describing the varieties of fruits available from one of the local nurseries, which included fruiting bananas and loquats. If you can locate a nursery that is willing to special order plants, then they can obtain the 'Tropic Pink' and 'Tropic White' Psidium guajava from the wholesaler La Verne Nursery.

The 'Lemon Guava' chong mentions is a variety of Psidium cattleianum which you can learn more about at Species in GRIN for genus Psidium. It is agriculturally cultivated for juice.
