Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Who has named varieties of Loquats?
What are their names? What zone do you live in? Where are they and I don't mean in your back yard. City and State are fine! Have they fruited? Would you consider sharing bud wood? Comments on quality or why their better than a seedling. I'll start. Charles in Pensacola, Florida 8b/9a. Seedling with grafted Yehuda. Mine have not fruited yet. Will share when it is big enough. Yehuda is a commercially grown variety. I was given the bud wood. No history on this variety.

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
I got some. No idea what the hell they're called, though. They seem to bloom and fruit massively, all at once -- then nothing for the rest of the year.
Just outside Tampa, FL |

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
I am looking for a seedless variety that has decent fruit. I am finding that other than fireblight there does not seem to be much in the way of local diseases that will hurt the seed grown variety that is grown locally. I have some fireblight since I have a large number of pear trees that get it to varying degrees from nothing as in hood, southern bartlett, oltan broussard, tenns, to mildly like Keiffers, to severe like Hosui. Hurricanes seem to also injure them, but then that goes for any shrub/tree.

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Luke in Fort Collins, CO zone 5a
grafted yehuda Inside outside plant. Bought it last summer from a nursery. It flowered and fruited for us in March. Very fragrant flowers. Small fruits(probably due to lower light being indoors) but still very tasty. Riped about 50 fruits. Not bad in the middle of winter in a living room :-) Will share budwood when the plant is large enough -Luke |

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Thanks Luke,
Well that's two for Yehuda! One on the West Coast and one in the Deep South. One looking for seedless and an Unknown (maybe hybrid) in Tampa. I'm sure there are more hybrid/named cultivars out there. Who wants to be next?

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Heh, just dug up your older posts doing searches related to our current discussion: EVERYTHING you wanted to know about Loquats!
Can send seedlings/babies or seeds anywhere anyone wants, provided shipping costs reimbursed. Specific variety is in question, but life is a box of chocolates anyway. They seem to do well with a little cow crap compost and/or 10-10-10. Mine tolerate all extremes of rain/drought well enough. Reasonably frost resistant. Even with the unprecedented 2010 2 weeks freeze/frost here, the trees survived, uncovered. |

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Zip 33527. We had upper's 20's, lower 30's for two weeks back then. Farmers pumped the superficial aquifers dry.. had to get the water authority to get a contractor to come out and repair the pump, which died, by sucking dead air. I went without running water for about a month LOL

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
I had a champagne loquat at a previous home, but the fruit flies always ruined them

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
I have magots in mychickasaw plums, but at least last year they left the loquats alone. Hopefully this year's loquat crop will be in 4-5 months when it is cold and magots will not be around.

Barnetmill you had expressed a desire for a seedless loquat. In this post EVERYTHING you wanted to know about Loquats! You will find links to many Academic Loquat articles. In one of them it speaks of diploid and triploid Loquats and the triploid did produce a commercial size fruit with good taste and no seeds. 90% of these articles are Asian research so I'm not sure how we would go about getting a tree but I would think they are availble over there. A seedless Loquat might be worth the costs.

It will likely be worth while to pursue this asian seedless variety after we do some more research on it. I will study the link that you provided. Thanks |

Bees Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
Bit of loquat Trivia. Today at about 5:00 PM at sundown on one of my loquats I saw bees on the flowers of one of my loquats at almost 60F degrees. The bees flying betwwen blooms in the poor light at top of this tallish loquat could not be identified precisely and so I am not sure if they were honey bees or our native bees both of which occur on my place

Re: Hybrid Loquats? Who's got them!
I got 2 loquat varieties here in Lakeland, Florida
1 Gold nugget 2 Fla Tanana I live in zone 9 and they fruit every year with so much fruit I have trouble giving them away to people so they don't rot on the tree...very heavy producer, and very cold hardy. Has been in the 24-26 degree area for 2 weeks in 2010 and never did even phase the leaves at all. the fruit is superb in taste, a cross between peach and mango with a hint of pineapple...my neighbor is from quam and swears the leafs will cure anything that ales you... this tree grows like a weed, needs very little care given to it if any really.. And you are more than welcome to any of the bud wood you might need.. I might add to you since u r in FL, the university of Florida The Tropical Research and Education Center has budwood available for people to use in propagation of 14 varieties of loquat.. hope this helps you...................................kub |

Do you recall at what stage the fruit was in when you had the long extended freeze? Has anyone else heard of the seedless ones from Asia? Anyone know of a source?
