    Type d'organisme: arbre, arbuste
    Psidium guajava est un arbre ou un arbuste tropical. Il est originaire d'Amérique centrale, du Mexique jusqu'au nord de l'Amérique du Sud. Il a été introduit dans la plupart des régions tropicales et sub-tropicales du monde pour ses fruits comestibles. Dans certains pays, la récolte, la transformation et l'exportation de ses fruits sont à la base d'une importante industrie. Du fait de sa capacité à pousser sur différents types de sols et sous plusieurs climats, P. guajava est devenu envahissant. Les pâturages et les champs sont envahis et les plantes indigènes sont concurrencées par cette espèce, qui a la capacité de former des massifs denses. Elle est considérée dans de nombreuses régions comme une plante envahissante devant être contrôlée ou éliminée. Elle est classée par diverses autorités parmi les plus hautes catégories d'espèces d'envahissantes.

    Distribution géographique
    Native range: The original range of the guava is uncertain, but it is thought to have come from an area encompassing southern Mexico through to Central America, but perhaps as far south as Peru (Jaiswal and Amin 1992).

    Known introduced range: introduced early to Guam by the Spanish, thence to the Philippines and throughout Asia. Present on many Pacific islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand.

    Invasive in:Hawai‘i, Malaysia, New Caledonia, Fiji, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Florida. Invasive in southern Africa including Natal, E. Traasvaal and Zimbabwe (Cronk and Fuller 2001). Guava has been translocated to most tropical and frost-free subtropical countries and has now become naturalized in many (Howard 1989).
