Guava -
Psidium Guajava/Cattleyanum/ 
Ugni molinae

Guavas are a great addition to the home garden as they cover months where there is not much else ripening. There is the tropical guavas, also known as Psidium Guajava, and the cherry guavas Psidium Cattleyanum. There is also the Chilean Guavas, or Ugni molinae, which are also commonly referred to as the 'New Zealand cranberry'.

Overall they are very tolerant and grow well in most NZ conditions. They don't love frosts, but can handle some mild frosts, or would be fine with frost protection. They don't mind salty conditions, and are fairly tolerant when it comes to soils and moisture inconsistencies.
