@Marlon ,
here you are.
The first is a guava type, probably from Brazil, seed dropped by a bird,
One problem, prefers to grow evenly as the trunk goes.
Still have to solve that one.
Most likely - Sub Tropical [ Bnut has no Sub Tropical forum ]
Second one - local guava - old trees have trunks around 30 cm [ 12 inches ]
and are not really dense, leaves are carried on the outside of the tree.
Fruit is tasty, small yellow, somewhat seedy ball.
Makes great jam/jelly.
This one is about 5 years old. Tests show the two trunks
[little less than 1 cm wide each / say 1/4 inch ] can support around 180 leaves or so,
but after defoliation , the leaves quickly revert to normal size ]
That 1 to 6 guideline migjht represent an optimum for density of branch and leaf,
per height. Example 1 inch [ 2.5 cm ] trunk to 6 inches height [ 15 cm ] can support
x branches and x leaves.
Good Day
Anthony
