That depends a lot on the plant, but this time of year with guavas I think you'll see the fertilizer encouraging growth within a week. Then again its hard to tell. Maybe the tree was planning a growth spurt anyways.

Overall, using some mild fertilizer on hungry plants like guavas is a good idea. Also try to create a layer of mulch around the tree, because it will provide a more constant source of nutrition than you can accomplish by applying fertilizer. You're best off using leaves and grass clippings from your yard. The compost you can buy at big box stores tends to have manure and gypsum in it, which is somewhat salty.
