Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Submit Your Seedling Loquat Variety -Show Your Loquat Fruits - 2023
« on: Today at 04:37:03 AM »
My cousins have a bunch of loquat trees on their property. They have a cluster of about 5 tree growing together with monsteras underneath and a few others growing around the property. I was at their house a few days ago, and the loquats are starting to flower, so unfortunately no photos.
Throughout all these trees, there is a lot of variation - some are mouth-pluckeringly sour and some are sweet and tangy.
I have 2 favourites.
One is a white-yellow skinned, white fleshed one that has a pineapple like flavour. It is larger than the other loquats (which are all small-ish, normal seedling size), and is very pleasant tasting. It is one of the last to fruit in the season.
The other one I like is a typical orange loquat. Last year I tried a commercial loquat, and I just thought it was too sweet and not sour at all. This loquat is nice and sweet, with good flavour but also some sourness to complement the sweetness. Better than any commercial fruits.
I will speak more when they are fruiting...
