Loquat Tree - Eriobotrya japonica

Loquat Trees are beautiful evergreens with delicious, sweet, and slightly tangy fruit that that's reminiscent of kumquats and plums; in fact, loquats are commonly known as Japanese Plums. This is the kind of fruit you just have to grow yourself to enjoy, because it's best and freshest straight off the tree. You'll never see loquats as a grocery store staple due to the fruit's perishability, so make your food forest your own unique grocery store. Loquats make excellent jams, pies, and healthy snacks. They are great as indoor or outdoor plants. Average mature height: 10-15 feet Light: Full sun Soil: Rich, well-drained soil, medium moist Zones: 8-11
