Planting Directions
<h2>Planting a White Guava Tree</h2>

<ul>
<li><strong>Choose a planting site</strong> with well-draining soil and full sun.</li>
<li><strong>Test the soil pH</strong>; guavas prefer a pH between 5 and 7.</li>
<li><strong>Dig a hole</strong> twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball.</li>
<li><strong>Remove the tree</strong> from its container and gently loosen the roots.</li>
<li><strong>Place the tree</strong> in the hole, ensuring it's standing straight.</li>
<li><strong>Backfill the hole</strong> with soil, tamping down to remove air pockets.</li>
<li><strong>Water thoroughly</strong> to settle the soil around the roots.</li>
<li><strong>Mulch</strong> around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Care and Maintenance</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Watering:</strong> Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.</li>
<li><strong>Fertilization:</strong> Apply a balanced fertilizer every 1-2 months during the growing season.</li>
<li><strong>Pruning:</strong> Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead or diseased branches.</li>
<li><strong>Pest and Disease Control:</strong> Monitor for pests and diseases and treat accordingly with organic or chemical controls.</li>
<li><strong>Pollination:</strong> White guava trees are self-pollinating, but hand pollination can increase fruit set.</li>
<li><strong>Harvesting:</strong> Harvest fruit when it turns light yellow and is slightly soft to the touch.</li>
</ul>
<p>Regularly check the tree's health and adjust care as needed. With proper care, your white guava tree will produce delicious fruit for years to come.</p>
FAQs
<h2>FAQs for the White Guava Trees</h2>
<h3>1. How do I plant a white guava tree?</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Choose the right location:</strong> Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Guava trees thrive in full sun and can suffer in too much shade.</li>
<li><strong>Prepare the soil:</strong> Loosen the soil to a depth of 2 feet and mix in compost or aged manure to enrich it. Guavas prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7).</li>
<li><strong>Dig the hole:</strong> Make the hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball of your guava tree.</li>
<li><strong>Plant the tree:</strong> Remove the tree from its container, gently tease the roots, and place it in the hole. Fill the hole with soil, gently tamping down to remove air pockets.</li>
<li><strong>Water thoroughly:</strong> After planting, water the tree deeply to help establish roots. Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first few growing seasons.</li>
</ol>
<h3>2. How do I fertilize my white guava tree?</h3>
<p><strong>Fertilization is crucial</strong> for the health and productivity of your guava tree. Use a balanced fertilizer (such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10) every 1-2 months during the growing season. Reduce fertilization frequency in the winter. Apply compost or aged manure annually for organic matter enrichment.</p>
<h3>3. How do I ensure proper pollination of my white guava tree?</h3>
<p>White guava trees are generally self-pollinating, but you can enhance fruit set by encouraging bees and other pollinators to visit your garden. Plant pollinator-friendly flowers nearby and avoid using pesticides that harm these beneficial insects. If needed, gently shake the branches during flowering to help distribute pollen.</p>
<h3>4. How do I water my white guava tree?</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Young trees:</strong> Water newly planted trees twice a week to maintain moist soil, not waterlogged. Adjust based on weather conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Mature trees:</strong> Reduce watering frequency to once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deep, infrequent watering encourages deeper root growth.</li>
</ul>
<h3>5. When and how do I harvest guava fruits?</h3>
<p><strong>Harvest time</strong> for white guavas typically falls between summer and early fall. Fruits are ready when they turn from green to yellow and emit a fragrant aroma. Gently twist the fruit off the branch or use pruning shears to avoid damaging the tree. Handle the fruits carefully to prevent bruising.</p>
<p>Remember, patience and consistent care are key to growing a healthy and productive white guava tree. Happy gardening!</p>
