You had a tropical guava (Psidium guajava), a white variety. As I posted below, all guavas can be grown to fruit in a 25-gallon or larger pot. The pineapple guavas usually need two varieties in the same pot for cross pollination. To obtain a tropical guava like the one you had in Mexico, make sure the seller knows you are looking for the white-fleshed tropical guava that produces fruit at least 2 inches in diameter.
