Loquat trees produce sweet, tangy fruit rich in vitamins A and C, supporting immune health and digestion. The leaves have traditional medicinal uses, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Loquats are easy to grow, providing shade, attracting pollinators, and enhancing biodiversity in your garden.
Season: All Year / Evergreen
Soil: Well-draining, rich in organic matter
Watering: Moderate; increase during dry spells
Position: Full sun for best fruit production
Fertilising: Compost, manure, liquid feed during growing season
Harvest fruit in late spring to early summer when fully ripe. Leaves can be dried for tea. Loquat trees make excellent ornamental additions to edible landscapes, offering year-round greenery and seasonal fruit.
Loquats prefer a sheltered spot, as young plants can be frost-sensitive. Prune lightly to maintain shape and airflow. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Best planted near citrus, figs, and other fruit trees to create a thriving, diverse garden ecosystem.
