Psidium cattleianum, also known as strawberry guava or cherry guava, is a tropical fruit-bearing tree in the Myrtaceae family. It is native to Brazil but widely cultivated in Hawaii, Florida, and other parts of the world. The tree produces small, red or yellow fruits with a sweet, juicy flesh and a crunchy edible seed. There are several synonyms for psidium cattleianum, including Psidium littorale, Psidium chinense, and Psidium cattleyanum var. littorale. The tree is also sometimes referred to simply as guava, although this term may also apply to other species in the Psidium genus. Regardless of its name, the fruit of psidium cattleianum is a favorite for its unique flavor and nutritional value.
