Question: How many times does guava flower in North India?
Options:
(a) Once
(b) Twice
(c) Thrice
(d) Throughout the year
✅Explanation: In North India, guava (Psidium guajava) typically flowers twice a year, with two major flowering seasons:
• First flowering (Ambe Bahar):
This occurs during the summer months, around March to April. It is the main flowering season.
• Second flowering (Mrig Bahar):
The second flowering occurs in the monsoon season, around July to August, leading to a second crop of guava fruits.
These two flowering seasons ensure that guava can be harvested twice a year, which is beneficial for maximizing production.
