Loquat Fruit Plant (1.5-3 Feet Height)

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a unique subtropical fruit tree prized for its sweet–tart golden-yellow fruits that ripen when most other fruit trees are still dormant. The tree’s large, glossy evergreen leaves make it a beautiful addition to gardens as both a shade provider and a productive edible landscape plant. At 1.5–3 feet height, this young, vigorous plant is well-suited for home gardens, balconies, terraces, or even large pots in mild climates.

PLANTING & CARE 🌱

• 🪴 Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained loamy or sandy soil; can adapt to a range of soil types as long as waterlogging is avoided.​

• 💧 Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during establishment. Once mature, trees are moderately drought tolerant but benefit from deep watering in dry periods.​

• 🌿 Mulching: Mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.​

• ✂️ Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crowded branches and maintain open canopy for airflow and sunlight.​
