Why you need to thin fruit on your guava tree

1. Increase fruit size & quality: When too many fruits are growing on a tree, they will compete for nutrients, water, and sunlight. This can result in smaller and lower quality fruits. Thinning the fruit will help the remaining fruits grow larger and healthier that taste amazing. After all, aren't we all looking for bigger guava fruits! So, if you want to find out how to increase guava fruit size then this chapter is for you.

2. Maintains tree vigour & prevent overbearing: Having too much fruit on the tree can drain it of nutrients, water and energy - leaving it weaker after each crop. This means the tree needs more feeding and more external inputs to support it. It may also result in the tree bearing a heavy crop one year and nothing the next, although guava trees are more forgiving. Thinning guava fruit also allows for a more balanced tree with needs that are lot more sustainable.

3. Prevents branch breakage: The weight of the fruit can be too much for the tree's branches to support, which can result in branch breakage. Thinning the fruit will reduce the weight on the branches, and help prevent breakage.

4. Controls pests and diseases: Overcrowded fruits can create a favorable environment for pests and diseases to thrive. By thinning the fruit, the remaining fruit will have more space and airflow, which can reduce the risk of pest and disease infestations.

5. Easier harvesting: Thinning the fruit can help with easier and more efficient harvesting. It can also help with the timing of the harvest, ensuring that the fruit is picked at the right time for optimal flavour and texture.

Overall, thinning guava fruit on the tree can result in healthier and larger fruits, prevent damage to the tree, reduce the risk of pest and disease infestations, and make harvesting easier.
