First Flower

Guava blossom Pica got back from her writing workshop today so I am off watering duties for now. This morning I noticed that one of the guavas is now bearing blossoms! Pica planted these guavas not long before a prolonged hard freeze this winter. We shepherded the guavas through the cold spell by covering them with gardening fleece so it is especially rewarding to see those blossoms now.

  2. We had a nasty frost for five nights straight in SoCal, but the pineapple guavas weren’t affected at all here. My pineapple guavas have been blooming for a couple of months now. The strawberry guava was a different story. Cut it back and it has recovered, but still not blooking.
