|
Hey, nice to see a community like this.
We're over in Houston, Texas and bought an approximately 1 year old guava plant (about 3' in height). I read it should have about 10-12 feet spacing from other trees. What about spacing from other small plants? Like shrubbery or some ground cover? I'm trying to accommodate this guava tree in my landscape and I don't want to plant it isolated from everything. Would it be okay to plant it surrounded by some small shrubs, flowers, ground cover?
Same goes for the pear and fig tree I got. Advice?

Howdy,
Welcome to the Stew from Hank down in central Florida where quavas grow wild or did before the developers pushed them all up and planted condos and suburbs; if you give them plenty of nutrients and water and not too shady a location they will do fine. Introduce yourself in the 'WELCOME TO GARDEN STEW' forum.

I'd like to see a pic of the guava plant. How much would you be able to buy one like yours for?
