Re: Loquat
It's great. It seems to be doing just fine in that corner of the house. And it makes the whole room smell like vanilla-ish sunscreen lotion or something. It's a very pleasant flower smell. Each day they get more and more swollen. I'll be sure to update this thread as time goes on.

Re: Loquat
Thanks everyone! i assume my fruit are on the small side, and behind schedule when compared to a tree actually grown outdoors in the proper climate. But they will ripen up eventually! Looking forward to tasting the fruit.

Re: Loquat
These trees are very common around my town. There is one across the street from us growing in the median next to the sidewalk that is a heavy producer and most are within arms reach. I see parents picking the fruit on the way to drop their kids at school which is just down the street. Almost never fails that if they park on this side of the tree they will pick some fruit on the way by it. Sometimes I'll take a few while dog walking. They make a nice snack!

Re: Loquat
Grown outdoors, given regular feedings of a citrus type fertilizer, and thinning the fruits to 1 per cluster when they are still small (grape size), then the fruits will be the size of a large apricot and be a real pleasure to eat, with a flavor reminiscent of apricot cross mandarin.

Re: Loquat
Darn, i just called the local asian market and it's not something they normally order through their suppliers. I was hoping to compare one of ours to a commercial fresh fruit. I'll have to keep looking
