The famous 'apple-coloured' guava or Allahabadi Surkha(red) guava has originated as a chance seedling in the village Abubakkarpur, Allahabad.
Allahabad Surkha guava was selected from the other varieties of guava in the Allahabad guava belt. Allahabadi Surkha is cultivated today on almost 1000 hectares of land mainly under Kaushambi and Kaurihar -II districts of Allahabad.
Allahabadi Surkha guavas are a variety of guavas having a deep or light pink, shades of pink or golden-yellow color inside instead of the typical white color and a deep pink, maroon, partially pink exocarp skin.
Average weight of Allahabadi Surkha guava is 200g, common guava weighs 55-65 gram.
These guavas also has a lot of seeds; 250-500 seeds per fruit(normal av. 112-500).
The specific area of known for Surkha guava is situated between two rivers i.e; Yamuna and Ganga flowing parallel together and merging at a point(sangam) making a triangle. This distinct agro climate condition is responsible for the emergence of red coloured guavas.
The local old farmers say that the area adjacent to the sangam point has more red colour.

Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR), are rights granted to the breeder of a new variety of plant that give the breeder exclusive control over the propagating material (including seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested material (cut flowers, fruit, foliage) of a new variety for a number of years.
With these rights, the breeder can choose to become the exclusive marketer of the variety, or to license the variety to others. In order to qualify for these exclusive rights, a variety must be new, distinct, uniform, and stable.A variety is:
-new if it has not been commercialized for more than one year in the country of protection;
-distinct if it differs from all other known varieties by one or more important botanical characteristics, such as height, maturity, color, etc.;
-uniform if the plant characteristics are consistent from plant to plant within the variety;
-stable if the plant characteristics are genetically fixed and therefore remain the same from generation to generation, or after a cycle of reproduction in the case of hybrid varieties.
