Hi there I purchased a plant at Lowe's its a strawberry guava and there was a small plant that came with it in the same pot but they don't look alike. so is a strawberry guava supposed to have a male plant planted with it. and if not then what kind of plant is this plant thinks in advance

Welcome!

The flowers of the strawberry guava are perfect, meaning that each flower contains both male and female organs. These plants do not come in "male" and "female".

I can't differentiate the small plant in the pot from the strawberry guava. It all looks like the same thing to me. Can you post another pic, maybe a couple, of views from different sides?

My understanding is that this plant often has multiple trunks, but can be pruned to a single trunk if preferred. Could it be that your seedling simply has two trunks?

That plant looks just like the chinese wolfberry plants I sprouted this year. It's a vining plant that will need support. Maybe you got lucky!

thinks ruggr10 for the info ya know it kinda does look like a vine type plant Chinese wolfberry you say. I do love getting extras lol I did that with a blackberry and a blueberry plant I got from Lowe's they appeared to have two trunks so I split them and got two for the price of one anyways I'm not too familiar with Chinese wolfberry ill look it up thinks.
