Is that the ripe color. p. edulis fruit is usually purple and p. eudlis flavicarpa is yellow (or is it the other way around. LOL) I had a mutation of p. edulis for years that produced solid white, very fragrant blooms and tons of bright yellow fruit. I started many plants from the seeds but alas, gave them all away except 1 which is potted and about 2 yrs old now. It has yet to bloom but I am hoping it is also white like the parent. I did hear from someone that said the one I have them bloomed white so we'll seed. In the meantime, I found a package of left over seeds that are probably a couple of years old. Usually passi seeds have to be fairly fresh to germinate but I plants all 200 or so in community pots hoping I might get lucky and get 1 or 2 to grow.

Is the cattey guava the same as strawberry guava. Lowes has a few of those right now.
