About this variety
Taiwan Pink is a Taiwan-origin guava type introduced to India through private nurseries rather than an ICAR or state-university breeding programme — it has no formal release record. It bears a "Super Early" crop, fruiting as soon as 8–10 months after planting, well ahead of most Indian guava types. Fruit has glossy, pale green-yellow skin and pink flesh, and has become one of the most exported guava types from India.

Advantages & considerations
Things to consider
- Fruit weight is reported by nursery/trade sources as roughly 250–300 grams — one search summary rendered this as "250 to 300 kg," which is clearly a unit error for a single guava fruit and has been corrected here rather than copied.
- No formal ICAR or state-university release record was found for this type, consistent with its private-nursery, introduced-variety origin — parallel to the pattern already flagged for grape varieties like Manik Chaman and Sonaka.
- Reported yield figures (up to roughly 9,000 kg/acre under intensive management) are consistent with this record's existing "Very high" yieldPotential rating, so no contradiction is flagged there.

Frequently asked questions
Is Taiwan Pink an ICAR-released variety?
No — no ICAR or state-university release record was found for it this phase. It is a Taiwan-origin type that private nurseries introduced to India and popularised through the trade, not an institute breeding release.
Why is it called "Super Early"?
Because it starts bearing fruit as early as 8–10 months after planting — much sooner than most Indian guava types, which typically take 2–3 years to reach commercial bearing.
How much does a Taiwan Pink guava fruit weigh?
Roughly 250–300 grams per fruit according to nursery/trade sources — not kilograms, correcting a unit error seen in one search summary.
What does the fruit look like inside and out?
Glossy, pale green-yellow skin on the outside with pink flesh inside — the pink flesh is the trait the name refers to.
Why is Taiwan Pink grown mainly in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh here?
This record's states field reflects where it is grown intensively for premium and export markets under this site's current data; as a widely traded introduced type it may also be grown in other states not yet reflected here.
