Loquat Grafted

The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a small, evergreen tree native to southeastern China. It is prized for its delicious, sweet, and tangy fruit, which is often enjoyed fresh or used in jams, jellies, and desserts.

Loquat trees grow to about 20-30 feet tall and have large, dark green, leathery leaves. In the fall, the tree produces fragrant, white flowers that give way to clusters of yellow or orange, pear-shaped fruits in the spring.

The loquat prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering. Due to its ornamental value and tasty fruit, the loquat is a popular choice for gardens in warm climates.
