Another "forgotten" fruit is the guava. It used to be grown commercially here in Florida and there was a large factory near where I grew up that made guava jelly. Guavas are used extensively in Cuban pastries. Guavas can be eaten directly off of the tree, but are best used for jelly. There are a number of different varieties that bear fruit ranging from the size of an avocado down to the size of a marble. Guava trees are very attractive and there are ornamental varieties that are used in landscaping, but bear little if any fruit.
