Psidium littorale (the strawberry guava) fruited well for me under the same
circumstances.
Plus it stays smaller.  I'd recommend it.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] fall/winter fruit for cool greenhouse?

We already have citrus and hylocereus and passionfruit in there but  
they don't do much in winter (except the hylocereus likes to grab me  
when I'm looking the other direction), that's why I'm looking for  
something that will ripen some fruit. We had bananas in there for  
years, too, but they tended to get pretty sad-looking by late winter  
and took up way too much room. Guavas sound like the best bet so far;  
does anyone have an idea as to whether Psidium littorale might work  
better than Psidium guajava?
