Re: Loquat
Yum! The skin on those looks smooth. Are they normally? Ours were fuzzy like a peach, but washed off with a quick rinse.

Re: Loquat
On these ones the skin is smooth, but the stem is fuzzy. I guess it depends on the cultivar. I'm not sure what cultivar this is, but whatever it is I have been eating it since my early childhood.

Re: Loquat
Does anyone know what variety this might be? The fruit is 1 to 1 and a half inches long, and the flesh is orange and juicy. It can contain anywhere from 1 to 5 seeds.

Re: Loquat
An underfed variety.
It could be a specific cultivar or just a seedling. Loquat seeds are notoriously easy to sprout -- often from a nearby tree or a feasting bird, to the point of being a nuisance. Even if it was fed a robust diet, it would still be difficult to identify by picture or even taste. One person who is somewhat of an expert in the tastes of Loquats is Jim Neitzel of the San Diego CRFG chapter.

Re: Loquat
I've solved the mystery: Turns out it's a second generation seedling from an unnamed cultivar originally found in France. Even though it's a seedling, the fruit are still great.

Re: Loquat
Last week I was down on vacation and there was a loquat tree nearby. I’ve wanted to try the fruit before and now that I got the chance, I tried my first loquat. I’m hooked! I came home with a couple handfuls of them. Will they produce fruit in zone 8a ? It said that they take 7-10 years (i couldnt wait that long) sometimes to start producing fruit from seed. Or should I get a cutting/grafting from someone that already has a tree?

Re: Loquat
They are really attractive plants. They have a couple prime specimens in front of my doctor's office. Makes me feel slightly better about going to see him! I wish that species made edible fruit instead of just getting by on looks!

Re: Loquat
I guess it can be propagated by the seeds?

Re: Loquat
Is Eriobotrya japonica called loquat?
In Croatia it's called nešpola (neshpola). It's a tree that birds eat and that's how they get into wilderness.
