Lucknow Guava (Sardar L-49)

A legendary, heavy-yielding Indian variety famous for its large, round fruits with slightly rough, greenish-yellow skin. The white flesh is exceptionally sweet, creamy, and soft with relatively few, soft seeds. These hardy, disease-resistant grafted trees adapt well to various climates and begin fruiting in just 1–2 years.

Description

Lucknow Guava (Sardar L-49) grows best in 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry weather, while avoiding waterlogging around the roots.

Recommended Planting Method for Best Results
For healthy growth and strong establishment, prepare a 2–3 ft deep pit. If available, place a layer of green leaves at the bottom. Mix 1.5 kg bone meal, 1 kg oil cake, 20 kg raw cow or goat dung, and 100 g urea with an equal quantity of soil, then fill the pit and cover it with soil.
Leave the pit for about one month, watering it daily so the mixture decomposes well. After one month, mix the contents again and add 100 g calcium or dolomite. Wait one more week, then plant the sapling.
If you need to plant immediately and cannot wait for the one-month decomposition period, do not add oil cake or calcium/dolomite; use only the soil, manure, bone meal, and urea mixture for planting.
