its the same thing here in New Orleans
i see lots of trees, almost no one ever eats them
i used to eat them as a kid, i loved them.
There are some very old loquat trees nearby.
ive never had a white one
and the ones ive eaten i am guessing must be a cross between sweet and tart
they all seem to have a bit of both. maybe most of them are wild here
and they crossed years ago ?
i had fruit from 4 trees this year, and most the same
sweet and tart, 1 tree i had wasnt much of either, pretty bland and small
i have 2 trees from seed i got from California, and one seedling from a tree in a very affluent area
i am hoping that these will be improved fruit over the "wild" ones i see around here.
the largest one is about 10ft, i am hoping for fruit next year.
