Need some expert advice please
I have a shrub, well it's that size for now in my back garden.
I was given the clipping and I was lead to believe it was a guava plant.
When it started to fruit, it didn't look like any guava that I've seen, but then I decided to use Google to investigate more.
I discovered that this maybe a strawberry guava, in fact to use the term that Google gave me - Rare Psidium cattleyanum Red Strawberry Guava.
I just need to know if anyone has one and they can confirm that it is indeed the red strawberry guava or something else.
I have included 2 photos.
I look forward to finding out if I indeed have a rare guava plant to to find out if there are any special secrets on how to look after it etc ....
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
