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

That is a big help! 14 varities that is sweet. Thanks for your loquat info and the tip on the free budwood from the state. I had thought there was a FL source for budwood but did not know where it was. I'm sure Barnetmill and I will be calling them.
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?

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!
Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!
Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
