This Camino Laguna White Guava comes from Junín, Buenos Aires, where it’s cherished for its sweet, creamy white flesh and citrusy brightness. Farmers in the Camino Laguna region have long prized it for its size, productivity, and flavor . This is a guava that can be eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, cooked down into jams, or turned into desserts.
What makes this one unique is that it was started from seed on June 17, 2024, and grown naturally here in New Orleans. Instead of being a grafted or imported cutting, this tree sprouted right in local soil and has adapted to our weather from day one. That means it carries the rich genetics of Junín while also being shaped by the resilience of our Gulf Coast climate.
By growing your own Camino Laguna White Guava, you’re carrying a piece of Argentina’s fruit-growing heritage into a New Orleans backyard or garden. It’s a rare chance to nurture a plant with roots in South America and a future right here at home.
