Pineapple Guava in containers

Here's my pineapple Guava today,

As you see they're in blooms. Last year they set one fruit, these year both of my trees are blooming with a lot more flowers than last year. These are about 4 years old seedlings. By the way did you know that the flowers are edible? They actually taste like Cotton Candy.
These are grown in a 5 gallon containers. wintered in the greenhouse, they do much in cool greenhouse than the tropical guava.

I have recently gotten some Guava seeds. I was wondering if there was any benefit to a tap-root in potted trees, since I do have some tall tree pots available for use? In fact, the pots will eventually be their final homes.

What a beautiful flower they have! there are so many plants that I would love to have, I NEED MORE SPACE or I have to part with others to make room, what to do, what to do!
