Strawberry Guava

[Rob Tucker]

I would have trouble imagining a goat eating guava trees which can grow to 30 feet in height and are extremely hard wood. I would be more worried about a guava thicket eating the goat. Most of the guava I am familiar with are so dense that an animal could easily become trapped within and die. It would be extremely difficult to extract livestock from a guava thicket if they became entangled.

The lowland rain forest of Puna makai are often bedded in a`a lava with extremely rough and sharp terrain . As the guava overtakes these lands it grows vertically and horizontally in practically a basket weave in places. I would not risk a goat in such a situation.
