Growing notes

For a few years I had a great chilean guava plant that produced a lot of berries until a strong cold snap killed it, low teens temps, rare for our region, so I thought I'd try again. We'll see.

Looking good, the Berry's on this one are bright red. I tried one, it wasn't bad but I think it will get better, not counting it as first fruit.
