We've been eating the first of our homegrown loquats for a few weeks now. I'm very happy with the Big Jim tree -- it is aptly named. I'd heard that loquats could get the size of apricots, but I'd never seen it in person. Some are even bigger than apricots. Nice flavor and very juicy. The smaller loquat in the photo is typical of the size I typically see -- it is a McBeth. It's supposed to have big fruit, too. Maybe it will when it gets older and more established, but not yet.
