Seedling ID - Rollinia?
« on: November 13, 2024, 05:00:29 AM »
Hello,
I brought some seeds home about 15 or so months ago from a fruit tasting at a place called tropical fruit world. I thought they were rollinia seeds, but no I am not so sure. I would love some help with identification. They seedlings have grown well, however in the photos the leaves are a bit droopy as we had a thirty or something celcius (80-90F, roughly) day, and the seedling had gone a little while without a water.
Again, I would love some help with ID. Thanks!

They look like loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)

Oh well. I feared they were, but I wanted some confirmation - I'd been convincing myself otherwise for a while. Guess I have a bunch of loquat seedlings to sell!

good fruits- usually ripen in a time of the year without much else either-

I'd keep a few
