Central Florida loquat

[IndigoEmu]

Landscape trees abound...but what is everyone’s favorite grafted variety for the central area?  I only have space for one tree, and would prefer a large fruit. I’ve yet to try any off a grafted tree. I’m leaning towards yehuda due to availability and good reviews.

Tough to get fruit without worms

Problem is they grow so easy here  they come up everywhere a seed hits dirt

With so many “wild” loquat around the fruit flies find yours also

The panicles might be a bit tougher to cover, but can they not be protected? Spotted 0 maggots in a large guava harvest last year when I bagged each fruit.

Don’t have any guavas this year, but noticed a distinct lack of papaya fruit fly since the freeze earlier this year.
