Loquat is a yellow-orange fruit that is juicy, sweet, and tangy, with a flavor reminiscent of apricots and citrus, and large, smooth brown seeds in the center. Loquats grow on attractive, evergreen trees that reach 15-30 feet that feature large, glossy green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom in late winter or early spring. The tree bears clusters of small, yellow-orange loquats that typically ripens in late spring to early summer, that are perfect to harvest for fresh eating, jellies, jams, wines, or even dried like apricots for long-term storage. Loquat trees have been cultivated in China for over a thousand years and was since made popular in Japanese gardens. Loquat plants have many health properties, for instance, its leaves were traditionally used for herbal syrups and teas for throat and chest soothing. This tree rich in benefits makes for a delightful addition to temperate and subtropical gardens.

Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Choose a clear, sunny location that is not in the shade of other trees. Trees establish roots better in sandy, well-drained soils rather than heavy, poorly drained soil. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.Planting:
Seeds do not need cold-stratification. Start indoors or directly sow outdoors when soil is >75F. Germination may take place after about 3 months. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in soil and keep soil moist until established. Seedbeds can be covered with plastic film to promote germination. When tree seedlings reach at least 6-inches in height, transplant seedlings to the desired location.
