you seriously just called that tree they sent you for free a nice healthy plant! Looks like rust all over it. Todays world is a marketing nightmare talk good just because they sponsor you. what happen to honesty and integrity in this world. I bought 4 plants from them dropped almost 4 bills and only one was nice two on the verge of death and one did die. I babied and nursed two back to health. You can get better quality from walmart. Problem is when a company uses internet to sell plants and trees and ship across the country they really need to arrive as fast as possible and not sit in a dark box being thrown around 20 times in 5 days in the dark. 50. 00 tree and 40. 00 shipping for two day don't work for a quality live product. They did stand behind the dead one and then they did send me a tree with more than two puny wilted leaves like first one they sent. Come stay with me for a week on 300 acres and I will show you real growing means like my grandpa showed my dad and dad showed me. but must say you have marketing skills 1. 3m subs and sponsor's too. so I guess mission accomplished huh

Had a full grown one at a library here in my area and noticed the fruit and it is awesome. Took two baby sprouts that were growing in the bushes home and kept them in containers with limited care LIMITED i say again. I'd check on them to see how they do a little more because i really wanted these babies to succeed. So before winter last year they were in the pots for almost 2 years. I now planted them in the ground and they are doing well. Just had a sneaky cool night and the cold hurt the baby new leaves so i just clipped them off to areas where i see a sprout, but if no sprout dont worry because these things grow back like myrtle trees in a way. Im not sure when they start with the fruit though. but cold will hurt the fruit flowers if its to cold, but other than that these trees stay green all year round and smell so good when the flowers are on them and they also attrack bee's ALOT of bee's so they will benefit my garden.
I live in georgia so the humidity is great for them. now i see loquat trees everywhere lol after you see one you will start seeing them all over.

Ah, you lucky man! Here in Melbourne ( Australia, not Florida! ) we have a different battle on to have our loquats. We have to fight two main enemies that will devastate the tree, eat all the leaves, eat all the flowers before they have a chance to blossom and eat of course, every fruit on that the tree that is then possibly left. The enemy - possums and fruit bats ( also called flying foxes. When I see your tree and the fruit on it, I could almost cry. Happy gardening and enjoy your loquats, you know how delicious they are.

Someone gave me some seeds. On a whim, I dug a hole, dropped the seed in, and covered it. Never expected anything, and in fact forgot about it. It has now been a few years and my tree is HUGE, and I have so much fruit I have to give some away because I can't eat it all. TONS of fruit! To me, they taste like a cross between a peach and a sweet grape. SO GOOD!
FYI. I live in New Orleans, so I guess the climate is good for them here!

In my Louisiana town, the loquats (which locals call Japanese Plums) are fruit hardy to 27 deg. I planted mine by the pool where they add to a tropical look. Old New Orleans properties have them, but they are not common in local nurseries, perhaps because you need to plant them high and provide good drainage since we often have 60-100 of rain a year. Fire blight is an issue with young trees.

I harvested a few loquats from a tree in the L. A. area (they're all over, that was hanging over the sidewalk. Really tasty. I planted the seeds and now, a few months later, I have about a dozen, 6-10 loquat seedlings in pots. I'm going to plant a few in the ground now and keep the rest in pots outside until spring. I hope I will not be an old man before they bear fruit. Any suggestions?

I discovered just a few weeks ago that I had a fruit bearing tree in my back yard. We have a landscaping company that does a fall cleanup for us and they have cart blanche on what to put in. They must have needed to replace something that was struggling and used a loquat tree. I thought we just had a nice looking shrub. This is a really nice surprise.

So, I'm looking at planting citrus trees in our new (future) home scape about a half hour from the Texas coast, and I saw your video on loquats. I have forgotten they exist! My grandparents had a huge tree in Altamont Springs, Fla. when I was a kid (circa 1980's, since then we've moved away. Yep, gotta get my hands on one. Thank you!

In 2019 I had a loquat harvest in Germany on my planted since 2013. This year I briefly wrapped them with air cushion film over the winter and put in a floor heating cable. It looks like some fruits will stay on it, so that there can be a harvest in summer this year in August.

When yer standing around the tree eating the fruit (taste is a cross between an orange and lemon) toss some of the seeds under the tree. A few will grow (if the soil is somewhat lose) and I give them to my family members. In a couple years they're enjoying their own.

Zone 8 can get down to 10 degrees It doesn't happen often. We did get down to 24 this year though. I hope I get fruit I don't want just a ornamental tree. I have 2 in my yeard that are very young I just planted from pots a few weeks ago!
