Does anyone have a guava tree, how well does it grow and what kind of climate are you in? I live in California and have thought about planting one.

We have both blackberies and boysenberries they both grow well, not together but at opposite ends of our creek, never thought about mixing them.

WE prune our wild berries back every year, they are near our creek, we manage the size, they are currently18'x10'x10"tall, they produce very well, they are near our garden and fruit trees so we get great pollination.

Some great suggestions, I'll have to try them, I like the dish detregent.

You might research spinosad which is clasified as an organic insecticide.

I had gone to a garden nursery yesterday because I was experiencing the same problem and the man told me more than likely they were earwigs. He told me to take some damp newspaper and lay it down in the garden in the evening then dispose of it the next day that the earwigs like damp places and...

I talked with a local nursery and they said just bring in an apple. The lady I spoke with has me leaning towards the neem oil being non-chemical, I may try that along with the sticky paper, but I will first have them identify the culprit. Thanks!

We have a dry heat here, I spent time in Asia where there was high humidity and it is very miserable.
