Re: Loquat
Here in the coastal-influenced portions of San Diego county, the Loquats start to ripen mid-February through March. Here's a tree visible from the traffic circle on Santa Fe Drive in Encinitas. What a load of fruit!

Re: Loquat
I have 4 loquats that have finally last year three of them set fruit in our northwest florida climate that is 8b hardiness zone. I often see native bees on warm winter days flitting about the flowers. The fruit will not be ready until about IIRC late june. I have only had one harvest, but greatly enjoyed the loquats. It is a common tree in my area, but not everybody has one. When in full sun with a lot fertilizer they can be full of fruit. Some people do not like them. They apparently are good for wine making. They appear on occasion to be sensitive to fireblight since those in my pear orchard are not doing well. But other than that they appear to be a low maintenance tree well worth planting. My only grip is that the fruit is small and has large seeds, but it is delicious and the trees are cheap. My last one was free and it is doing the best, probably because it is getting full sun.

Re: Loquat
Thinning the fruits to one per cluster will result in fruits with a lot more flesh.

When retire I am planning to plant three sides of the perimeter of my eight acres with fruit and berry bearing plants. This is to run the gamut from mulberry, pears, cactus, Loquat, chickasaw plum, and what ever else will grow. For the mulberry I will root cuttings, for the chickasaw plum I will either use sprouts or seedlings, for cactus I will root cuttings, for pears grafts on flowering pear. For the loquat I was planning to use seedlings. I assume that this is a good way to obtain loquats on the cheap. I am not planning to harvest these trees and their fruit is intended for the critters to take some pressure off of what I have in my orchard and I may also harvest any deer or feral pigs that show up. The neighbors will also be welcome to take what they want. |
