This shrub or small tree can grow up to 7 meters tall but is typically found as a 1 to 3-meter shrub. It thrives best in sunny sites with moist, fertile soils but is highly adaptable to a variety of conditions, including disturbed or poor soils. However, it does not tolerate salinity or flooded conditions. In Brazil, it is commonly found in coastal areas.
The plant features grayish bark and glandular, pale or reddish-hairy undersides of leaves. The leaves are up to 14 cm long and 8 cm wide, with oval shapes and occasionally toothed edges. It produces fragrant white flowers that grow singly or in small clusters of up to 3, which eventually give way to the guava fruits.
The fruit is round, up to 2.5 cm in diameter, with yellow skin and a yellow outer pulp. The inner pulp is whitish and contains many seeds. Known for its sweet, aromatic, and juicy flavor, it is a favorite for fresh consumption or use in jams, drinks, and desserts.
