Guava tree questions

Ms. Jitomate · November 15, 2013

I was given a guava "tree" which is now a 22 inch one stem. It is approximately a one year old started from seed. It will have a yellow fruit, white flesh, pear-like shape and the fruit grows to the size of a large lemon.

Can I prune it now so that it is splits into more branches or should I wait? The diameter at the base is slightly larger than a pencil. I don't want to be reaching high to get the fruit in the future.

I want to put it in the ground but is it too small and is it the right time of the season to put it in the ground?
