{"product_id":"thai-guava-10-bag","title":"Thai Guava - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eThai Guava is a popular, high-yielding selection prized for its very large, crisp, light-green fruit with thick white flesh, mild sweetness and few soft seeds. The fast-growing, semi-dwarf tree begins bearing young and crops heavily, making it a favourite for home gardens and commercial orchards across India. Fruit is usually eaten firm and crunchy like an apple, often with a sprinkle of salt and chilli. Hardy and adaptable, it tolerates a wide range of soils and the heat of the plains. With regular pruning and feeding it can be kept compact and even grown in large containers on terraces and balconies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMyrtaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical America;
