Watering A Guava Tree?

Guava trees are a versatile fruit tree that can yield fruit with even more Vitamin C than oranges. They are self-sufficient once established and require regular watering, taking into account temperature, rainfall, and soil type. Young guava trees need 0.8 cups of water every 9 days when they don’t get direct sunlight and are potted in a 5.0″ pot. Watering is crucial during their establishment phase, especially during the first year after planting. A helpful watering guide is to water deeply but infrequently, ensuring the soil is moist to a depth of 12-18 inches before watering again.

Guava trees adapt to most types of soil but do best in soil with lots of organic matter and a pH of 5-7. Make sure the soil has good drainage. When first planting, water the soil in the soil and create a modest soil basin around the trunk to hold water at watering time. Secure the tree to the stake with tree ties. After planting, water each tree thoroughly and fertilize it with a high-quality fertilizer.

Guava trees can be watered moderately after planting, but be sure to allow the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry before watering again. Overwatering will create soggy soil, which will lead to root rot. Water the tree deeply but allow the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry before watering again.

Guava trees are typically grown outdoors due to their preference for warm climates. They prefer soil with a lot of organic matter, a pH of 5-7, and good drainage. Water newly planted trees every other day for about a week, then once or twice a week through the growing season. In winter, allow the ground to dry to a depth of several inches before watering again. Trees in the age group of 2-5 years should be irrigated at 4-5 days interval, while those aged 5-8 years should be irrigated at 10-15 days interval. Water thoroughly until moist but not soaked. Install stakes if needed to secure newly planted trees against wind and apply mulch around the base.
