@@qctropicals last year they let all the fruit rot on the tree, I’m going to ask them if they’ll let me harvest the fruit for them for a small fee of a take home basket lol
I am propogating seeds that I collected from the fruit it;s going well and you made me more sure. God willing I will name one tree in your name. Thanks man
Allen, wanted to thank you for your previous video on the Rain Point irrigation system. It’s an awesome system. Can’t believe all the info you get and the amount of control. Perfect for going on summer vacations!
Great video. Just obtained a very healthy 5gal loquat(from seed) after first purchasing, and killing, two cuttings, and two smaller seedlings. I am determined to get loquats! I didn't relize how difficult(impossiable) loquats are to propegate from cuttings as there are a number of videos that claim to have done it without any followups to show progress. Not sure what your thoughts are on that sort of thing, but it would be nice to have a video out there warning people about the risks/futility of rooting loquats from cuttings.
I have a couple of loquat sprouts, I may need to move them into a smaller container (currently both in 1 gal) my question is as the colder night temperatures approach (2500 elevation AZ) any ideas on keeping these sprouts going or safe through the winter (currently pots on the ground in backyard)
loquat are an invasive species. The seeds germinate easily. If you spit a few out into your yard, you will have a tree in no time. Every year, my loquat tree drops seed, those seeds germinate, and new trees grow.
I started watching your videos mainly for loquat tree since I was planing on getting one and now I have one, however I struggle to find videos on how to best prune loquat trees. Is it better to leave it as a bush style tree, open center, central leader, etc…?
If you say you should use fresh seeds from the summer ... and that you should not propagate them until the spring... What do you do with them all winter??
My loquat finally fruited this year and I have to say I’m really disappointed. It did not live up to the hype. The taste was so bad that I’m considering getting rid of it or at least trimming it back and only growing it for the medicinal leaves.
fruits will not taste the same every year. My loquats didnt taste their best this year due to the inconsistent temperatures. Give it another season or 2 before making the final choice. Also, loquat is not ripe until it's soft to the touch. If you eat it and it's firm, it wasn't ripe.
My first loquat are ripening….the anticipation! Almost orange, almost soft…..two trees, definitely planning on more!
I am so excited! My neighbor has a tree and I plan on capitalizing on the fruit that falls over the fence❤😅
youre a good neighbor

This is the last week of August. My fruit are finally at their peak in flavor. Completely sweet. In June, they were a little tart.

I had a buch of seeds that never germinated...now i know why!! Very informative

Excellent video about growing loquat from a seed. ❤❤❤
Awesome dude! I literally just planted some loquat seeds last week!
Thanks so much. Great ideas. Have a tree but gonna try to grow some more. 😊

I haven't tried cuttings personally. I'll do a few and report back :)

they naturally have a round canopy. So, pruning is very minimal with these trees.
Thank you 🙏🏽🪴
Your dog loves you
Do the seeds need cold stratification? The plants are evergreen (which is kind of weird), so I wasn't sure.
Does it produce hybrid fruits or like the fruit from the seed??
they're not true to seed.
How long does it take them fruit from seed?
from seed earliest I've seen was 3 years
Hello do you ship to California
yes
Any suggestions of online seed stores which sells loquat seeds or cuttings
hard to get fresh. I know of no one. Try buying the fruit instead. Season is now.
@qctropicals ok we don't import this fruit in our country Barbados
If you say you should use fresh seeds from the summer ... and that you should not propagate them until the spring... What do you do with them all winter??
loquats don't fruit in the winter
Still waiting. I have about 25 seeds in 4" pots. Only 1 sprouted. Ugh!
they take a while

There are better/improved varieties. Loquat are some of the easiest to graft onto. Buy some cutting of popular varieties and graft on your tree
