Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Guava Tree 'Barbie Pink'

'Barbie Pink' Guava Tree Planting Guide

The 'Barbie Pink' Guava is a tropical fruit tree that produces delicious, pink-fleshed guavas. This variety is known for its beautiful, fragrant flowers and sweet, aromatic fruit. It thrives in warm climates and can also be grown in containers in cooler regions, making it a versatile choice for home gardens. Here’s how to successfully plant and care for your 'Barbie Pink' Guava tree:

1. Planting Instructions

  • Location: Choose a sunny spot that receives full sun—at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Guavas do best in warm, tropical to subtropical climates but can be grown in containers and moved indoors in colder regions. Guavas grow well in USDA zones 9-11 outdoors, but they can also be grown in containers in cooler zones.
  • Soil Preparation: Guavas prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A sandy loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.0) is ideal. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and aeration.
  • Planting Hole: Dig a hole that is twice the width and slightly shallower than the root ball. This allows the root ball to sit slightly above ground level, preventing water from pooling around the base and causing root rot.
  • Planting: Place the tree in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is above ground level. Backfill with soil, firming it gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly to help the soil settle around the roots.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

2. Care Instructions (Establishment Period)

  • Watering: Water deeply after planting, and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first year. Guava trees need regular watering, especially in hot or dry weather. Once established, they are fairly drought-tolerant but prefer moist conditions during fruiting.
  • Fertilizing: Guavas are heavy feeders, especially during their growing season (spring and summer). Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) or one rich in potassium to encourage healthy growth and fruiting. Fertilize every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. Organic options like compost or fish emulsion can also be beneficial.
  • Monitoring: Check regularly for signs of stress, such as yellowing leaves (which may indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies). Guavas can attract pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and scale, so inspect the plant and take action with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.

3. Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  • Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning also helps shape the tree and improve air circulation, reducing the risk of fungal infections. Guavas respond well to pruning, and regular trimming can help control the size of the tree, especially if grown in a container.
  • Pest Control: 'Barbie Pink' Guava trees can be susceptible to common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and guava moths. Use neem oil, horticultural oils, or insecticidal soap to control these pests. Additionally, ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues like anthracnose.
  • Cold Protection: If you live in an area with frost, protect the tree by covering it with frost cloths or moving container-grown guavas indoors. The tree can tolerate short periods of cold, but damage can occur if temperatures drop below 30°F (-1°C). Mulching helps protect the roots during cooler months.
  • Harvesting: Guavas typically start bearing fruit in 2-4 years. Harvest the guavas when they are fully ripe—indicated by their fragrant smell, soft texture, and color change (usually a yellowish or slightly soft pink hue). The fruit can be eaten fresh, made into jams, or used in smoothies and desserts.

  • Superior Quality

  • Guaranteed to Grow

Beware- not all Barbie Pink Guava Trees are the same.

Be sure to get superior fruit trees, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" fruit trees to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Barbie Pink Guava Trees in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that is ready to grow and produce!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall fruit trees in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" tree, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy tree.

'Barbie Pink' Guava is a fast-growing, high-yielding tree with sweet, mildly tart guavas and vivid pink flesh.

  • Pink-fleshed fruit with a strong, sweet fragrance and hints of strawberry
  • Fruits on its own- no second tree needed for pollination
  • Patio-sized: about 8 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide in a container
  • Late summer through fall harvest; outdoors in zones 8-11 or as a patio tree in zones 4-11

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure trees including the pot and roots, so their "2-3 ft." tree may only be about half that size when planted. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Barbie Pink Guava Trees Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship thin, weak fruit trees grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" trees can spend years recovering before they give you a real harvest.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Barbie Pink Guava Trees, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. A strong start helps your tree settle in quickly and begin bearing fruit, often around 1-2 years after planting.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Guava Tree 'Barbie Pink'

How big does a Barbie Pink Guava tree get?

A 'Barbie Pink' Guava grown in a container typically reaches about 8 feet tall and 3 feet wide. That compact size makes it easy to grow on a patio and move indoors in cooler climates. Trees planted in the ground in warm areas can grow larger, so pruning helps keep them at a manageable, easy-to-harvest height.

What zones can Barbie Pink Guava grow in?

'Barbie Pink' Guava can be grown outdoors year-round in USDA zones 8 through 11. In zones 4 through 11 it can be grown as a patio tree in a container that you bring indoors when temperatures turn cold. Guavas love heat, so choose the warmest, sunniest spot available for the best growth and fruit.

How long does it take a Barbie Pink Guava tree to produce fruit?

A 'Barbie Pink' Guava can start producing fruit within 1 to 2 years of planting. It is a fast-growing, high-yielding tree, and harvests typically increase as it matures. Full sun, regular watering, and consistent feeding during the growing season all help it flower heavily and set a generous crop of pink-fleshed guavas.

Do you need two guava trees to get fruit?

No, a single 'Barbie Pink' Guava can produce fruit on its own. Common guavas are generally self-fertile, so you do not need a second tree for pollination. Planting another guava nearby may improve fruit set somewhat, but one tree on a sunny patio can still reward you with plenty of sweet, pink guavas.

When is Barbie Pink Guava fruit ripe?

'Barbie Pink' Guava fruit ripens from late summer through fall. Ripe guavas turn from green to a lighter yellow-green, soften slightly when pressed, and give off a strong, sweet fragrance with hints of strawberry. Inside, the flesh is a vivid pink with a sweet, mildly tart flavor that is great fresh or in smoothies.

How do I protect a Barbie Pink Guava from cold weather?

Protect a 'Barbie Pink' Guava whenever frost or freezing temperatures are expected. Container trees should be moved indoors or into a garage near a bright window before nights drop near freezing. For in-ground trees in zone 8, cover them with frost cloth during cold snaps and mulch the base to protect the roots.

Can I grow Barbie Pink Guava indoors?

Yes, 'Barbie Pink' Guava can be grown in a container and brought indoors during cold months. Place it in the sunniest window you have, since guavas need plenty of light, and let the top inch of soil dry before watering. Move it back outside once nighttime temperatures stay mild in spring.

How much sun does a Barbie Pink Guava tree need?

A 'Barbie Pink' Guava needs full sun, ideally 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. More sun means more flowers and more fruit. Plant it in well-draining soil rich in organic matter with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of about 5.5 to 7.0, and avoid low spots where water collects.

How often should I fertilize a Barbie Pink Guava tree?

Fertilize a 'Barbie Pink' Guava every 6 to 8 weeks during spring and summer. Guavas are heavy feeders, so use a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or one rich in potassium to encourage flowering and fruit. Compost or fish emulsion are good organic options. Stop feeding in fall as growth slows.

How often should I water a Barbie Pink Guava tree?

Keep the soil of a 'Barbie Pink' Guava consistently moist but never waterlogged, especially during its first year. Water deeply and more often in hot, dry weather. Once established, guavas are fairly drought tolerant, but steady moisture while the tree is flowering and fruiting helps produce larger, juicier guavas.
