ARKKAKIRAN

Arka Kiran is a premium guava variety developed by the ICAR–IIHR (Indian Institute of Horticultural Research). It is highly valued for its attractive dark red flesh, sweet flavor, and excellent nutritional content. The fruits are medium to large in size with a pleasant aroma and soft seeds, making them ideal for fresh consumption. Grafted Arka Kiran plants begin bearing fruits within 2–3 years under proper care and produce abundant harvests throughout the year.

Arka Kiran thrives in warm tropical and subtropical climates and grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with full sunlight. The tree is vigorous, easy to maintain, and highly productive. Rich in Vitamin C, lycopene, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, the fruits are excellent for fresh eating, juices, smoothies, jams, and desserts. Its vibrant red flesh, outstanding sweetness, and high nutritional value make Arka Kiran one of the finest guava varieties for home gardens and commercial orchards.
