Turn Your Garden into a Tropical Paradise
Why Loquat Trees?
Transforming your garden or backyard into a tropical retreat has never been easier thanks to the Loquat. Plant them by themselves or intermingle with a few palm trees, and you can create a tropical paradise right at home.
Plus, Loquats will grow to a manageable mature height with pruning, making them a good size for a diversity of planting options. The shiny, thick leaves with sawtooth edges and delicate white flowers combine for an island-inspired look and fresh scent. But the best part is the fruit: Its juicy orange flesh has a delicious tropical flavor-like a sweet, tangy plum and a kumquat all in one.
Capable of tolerating winds, drought and a wide spectrum of soil types, Loquats thrive in full sun and do well in partial shade. Well-draining soil and plenty of water are about all your Loquat will require. However, the top perk is your Loquat's strong beginning.
Loquat 'Japanese Plum' Trees areĀ self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Loquat 'Japanese Plum' Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
