Here's some small pineapple guava fruits on a tree. The fruits almost blend in with the foliage of the tree. Photo taken at Quail Botanical Gardens, Encinitas, CA. on Sept. 4, 2012.

Very interesting, how edible are they?

DD2:

They are very edible! LOL! :>) It's a very, very widely grown fruit in California. I think they are commercially grown along the coast in Santa Barbara County.

They taste like a soft pineapple. Some varieties have fruit the size of baseballs.

We're pretty lucky in California. We commercially grow so many fruits and vegetables crops all year. Citrus and avocados are multi-billion dollar crops.

That's great!...and funny at the same time. :>)

Citrus is so common here...generally, mature trees have hundreds of fruit. I get lots of citrus: oranges, lemons, limes, and tangerines from my neighbors.
