Our loquat tree hasn’t flowered or fruited this year. Last year we had a ton of fruit. Is anyone else experiencing this horribleness?

Ultra Rare Eugenia Cisplatensis seedlings for sale. $17 per seedling, or buy 2 for $30, plus shipping.

This fruit is said to be very tasty, the new foliage is beautiful, and a very high percentage of the flowers will turn into fruit, so the fruit set is very good on this one.




Here’s a video describing the fruit and the tree. In the video the commentator says the fruit is very tasty, fruit set is high, and the new foliage is gorgeous.

It should also be noted this species is at risk of going extinct due to habitat loss.

Here’s a picture of my Sumo grafted onto our “Velma” Grapefruit tree that has a dwarf rootstock, however the tree is over 30 years old. This graft is less than a year old and the fruit is just about ready to eat.

On the contrary, here’s a 3 year old blood orange graft that hasn’t flowered yet, it’s grafted onto a dwarf lemon tree.


I’m sure a lot of factors contribute to the fast/slow growth of grafts, but you would think it would be relatively the same since it’s all citrus. Also my trees are only 10ft apart so they get about the same treatment.

What other citrus grafts have fruited quickly for you?

These are the ORANGE variety of COTRG. Approx 6”. They are much better tasting than the standard red variety. $15/each plus shipping or take both for $28 + shipping.

Fruiting (with fruit on it now) Ice Cream Bean Tree (Inga) in large 15 gallon pot for sale. Also in the same pot a soon to be fruiting Surinam Cherry bush. Price for the combo is $175, local pick up only.

This is a common type of Inga. Height is about 5ft tall from top of pot. The tree is currently fruiting and has several pods on it (please see pics below)

There is also a Surinam Cherry bush in the pot that should fruit soon. I believe the fruit was black, but because it’s a seedling there’s a chance it could revert back to red, if it does turn out to be red, I have an original fruiting Zill’s Dark tree I will give you cuttings of for free, the fruit is incredible. I can also throw a couple small cuttings of the Zill’s in for free at pick up.

I have a dwarf Meyer lemon tree I’ve been grafting mandarins and oranges onto the last couple years. They are all growing well but have not fruited yet as grafts are still young.

So, will grafting oranges/mandarins onto lemon rootstock make the fruit have sour notes? I read somewhere that it could but was hoping someone on here has personal experience. Thanks
