Homestead Guava
✓ VerifiedFlorida, USA (UF breeding program)
Homestead was released by the University of Florida's tropical fruit breeding program, part of decades of institutional research based at the university's Homestead facility in South Florida that also produced improved sapodilla, loquat, and other subtropical fruit varieties better suited to Florida's specific growing conditions than the seedling guavas early settlers had originally planted.
