Guava synonyms

Among the more common fruit-trees, some of which are exotics, may be mentioned cacao (Theobroma), orange, lemon, lime, pine-apple, banana, guava (Psidium), breadfruit (Artocarpus), cashew (A nacardium), alligator pear (Pers ea), with the apple, peach, pear, and other fruits of the temperate zone on the elevated plateaus.

The bright, invigorating scent of guava is tempered by a subtle base note of coconut and further sweetened by a hint of pomelo.

I experienced varying degrees of staying time from scent to scent - for example, Hawaiian Ruby Guava appeared to fade quickly, but Spanish Amber packed a punch and stuck around for a while.

For dessert, try guava duff (steamed pudding with guava jelly ).
