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. |
Richard,
The "Lemon Guava" that I got from eBay is Psidium Guajava, not P. Clattleianum. The Seller just calls it "Lemon" because it ripens lemon yellow, skin is textured, sized and shaped like the citrus Lemon. If I were to make an educated guess, it is more of the "White Indian" variety. If it were a P. Cattleianum, I wouldn't have bought it. Here's the photo in the ad.
