More acid,more flavor than orange to me .

One thing I noticed about the orange loquats from my great uncle's tree is that their flavor depends a lot on their ripeness. When less ripe, they're sour, as they get more ripe, they're sweeter. They're really good when optimally ripe.

I still need some scion wood for Big Jim if anyone has any. I have Yehuda and Champagne. Interested in other varities as well.

Looks like I was wrong on this one. Went to 3 leading nurseries in area today and I foundt this in one of them

Course that stuff didnt know anything about it beside the fact that that are Loquats "like any other else". Price? Just to ad that I didnt buy any

I think most fruit are sweeter when more ripe

Definately true with Persimmons!

I looked at three of my four loquats and I have observed buds that are now flowering. Normally my loquats flower in the winter and this is the first time I have seen this happen at the end of August into September. For some reason there was little if any fruit on them this june. My pears also ripened earlier this year. Other than being wetter than normal with a couple of dry weeks thrown in between I have no explanation. Maybe I will get a late fall crop this year.

Barnetmill, All of yours are seedlings right?

If you do get a crop I'd like to taste them.

I'll check my potted trees and see if I have any buds forming. One that I have in the sun looked like it might be trying to set buds last week.

I purchased 3 of them for between 5 and 8 dollars and assume they are seedlings. One was a gift and I am sure it is also a seedling. If I get any sort of harvest you will get some. I like loquats. Green up santa rosa use to sell them cheaply.

Darkman · 09-03-2012, 06:49 PM

OT

But I planted my Muscadines this week all 24 of them. I'm training them up stakes and then onto a trellis I still have to build.

I only planted a potted raspberry plant. I am working clearing a dense tangle of brush and trees along my northern border that when cleared that will hold more fruit trees and catalpa trees. Killed a water moccasin in that fence line area about two Saturdays ago which is another reason to remove that cover. Animals from the near by forested creek bottom are attracted to that fence line.

The mature loquat tree can withstand temperatures of 10 degrees without serious injury, but both flowers and fruit are killed at temperatures below about 27. Unfortunately, loquat blooms in late fall to early winter and must mature its fruit during the winter months. Thus, fruiting rarely occurs except in south Texas or following mild winters in south central or southeast Texas. Home Fruit Production-Loquat

So these trees are blooming about 3 months early. At times there have winter temperatures below 27 F and the blooms survived so there is a lot variation relative to temperature resistance. While driving in my neighborhood today I spotted two other loquats that are also in bloom. My guess is since for some reason the trees did not yield fruit during a somewhat milder winter for and now for some reason they are now trying put out fruit.

Must be something going around. Bo killed one last week at his house!

After the Loquat sets the fruit and the fruit get a little size they can handle brief dips a little lower than 27. Maybe since yours are blooming this early they may get big enough to make it through our normal winters. Hope so!
