I also have tons of this most useless plant on my acres. Wishful thinking to try to find much value in them. The only thing I could ultimately think of was a good shredder/chipper and use the fiber in a fiber cement product. Cutting them down is temporary unless you kill the stumps and you will have thousands of stumps. For this reason D-9s were invented. Unfortunately dozing seems to be the only real effective way to rid yourself of them and that is costly and will usually kill the few surviving Ohia left in the guava groves.
Wish I could offer you better news. They can release that insect which impedes guava any day as far as I'm concerned.
Oh. I did make some replacement wheel barrow handles from guava. That took care of two. Now I still have several million to find a use for.

Assume the best and ask questions.
