Guava, which is believed to be a native of Peru in South America, is called “Peru” in Bombay and its neighbouring areas, may be because it came to India from there. Guava was brought into India only in the 16th century. It grew well here and became so popular with Indian masses that today guava is the fifth most widely grown fruit crop of India.
