Could the "Chilean Guava" be Feijoa sellowiana
'Pineapple Guava'?  This is a large shrub/small
evergreen tree, that has edible flower petals and
small, plum-size fruit. It is reported to be hardy in
zones 8 & 9. It is native to South America and is
often used as an ornamental where hardy. There are
named varieties that are propagated mostly by grafting
to seedlings. I have had one called Evandale Supreme
for years, and grew some seedlings last fall.  If you
do a web search using the above names, I am sure you
can get good rundown on the plant.
