    Psidium Guajava - Guava - Fruit Fly (Bactrocera Dorsalis)

    Psidium guajava, commonly known as the common guava, yellow guava, lemon guava, or apple guava, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. It is being cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Guava fruits are ranging in size from as small as an apricot to as large as a grapefruit. Various cultivars are having white, pink, or red flesh; a few varieties are featuring red (instead of green or yellow) skin. When cultivated from seed, guavas are notable for their extremely slow growth rate for several months before a very rapid acceleration in growth rate takes over. From seed, common guavas are blooming and setting fruit in as few as two years or as many as eight. Common guava (Psidium guajava) fruits are being observed on a guava tree, and an oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is sitting on the fruits in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 8, 2024.
