How about you? do you have guava plants?
Yup still have a bunch of it on my 3 acre lot and I have been steadily working on clearing it for years.
As a kid I made crummy bows out of it. Not bendy enough.
I have built frames out of the wood for beans and other climbing vegetables. They don't last that long. A season or two. To fasten it up, I tie them all together with old maile-pilau vines.
It makes decent wood for bbq after being dried awhile.
I have had really tasty and powerful wine made from a mash of the yellow wai wi guava.
If you want to harvest your trees more regularly, gut them back at 4 feet tall and let them bush out.
Birds love them too and spread the seed of this invasive EVERYWHERE.
