Guava trees are prized for their delicious fruit, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. However, not all guava trees produce the same quality of fruit. If you want to grow a high-yielding, disease-resistant, and superior-quality guava tree, grafting is the best technique.
Grafting allows you to combine the best characteristics of two different guava trees: a strong rootstock for resilience and a productive scion for high-quality fruit.
