This species is endemic to the Galapagos Islands where it is common in semi-arid zones and coexists with the invasive P. guajava (Porter 1969). Psidium guineense
P. guineense (Brazilian guava) is reported as a noxious weed in S. Africa (Randall 2002). Small shrub or tree from 3-25ft. Its overall appearance has a resemblance to the strawberry guava tree. The brazilian guava is somewhat hardy, having survived temperatures to 28F. It will grow successfully in subtropical climates as well as arid zones as it is capable of withstanding some drought (http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/para_guava.htm) Psidium x durbanensis
This is a hybrid of Psidium guajava and Psidium guineense cultivated in S. Africa where it is reported as a noxious escape (Randall 2002) |
