Evaluation of different guava is pre-requisties for morpho-physiological traits. In view of this, fifteen guava varieties were evaluated at the Guava Demonstration Centre, Bhuna (Fatehabad) and in the Postgraduate Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2018-19 for both the season i.e. rainy and winter. All varieties under the study were evaluated for quantitative characters and distinct variation was observed. Among the studied varieties, the maximum plant height during both the season i.e. rainy (3.75 m) and winter (4.09 m) and foliage density (number of leaves per running meter) was observed to be maximum (dense) in KG Guava.
