CLOSED: Estee loquat cutting {Limited quantity}

[sc4001992]

SALE IS OVER

This sale is for the Estee loquat cutting. It has white flesh; it is on my top 5 best tasting list. It is also one of the giant loquat fruits. Taste is excellent, juicy sweet, can't go wrong if you have this one. It probably is the best large size white loquat that I have tasted so far.

Since I will have only 10 cuttings to sell/spread around. I will do a raffle for you to guess a number, and the first 10 people to guess closest to the number when I end this raffle will have the opportunity to buy 1 cutting next week.

This tree is an established tree, large, has good form, about 12 ft tall, growing in ground for over 15 yrs.

I have this variety grafted on multiple in ground trees and have been tracking the flavor every year for 7 years since I grafted this one back in 2016. Taste is very consistent, when ripe it is one of the best white flesh, not many other will taste better. I would not be selling any scionwood of this variety, but I met the owner of the mother tree this year and he let me take cuttings from his tree. My grafts are too small to take cuttings.

Seedling 20, Estee, white flesh, large fruits (100 grams), and taste is top 5. There are not many other loquat varieties that tastes better than this one. The others which may have more sweetness (higher brix) is my seedling varieties.

I have permission to sell some scion wood of Estee so that we can spread this variety to the hobby. Profit will go to the owner of this tree, less cost for me to ship it. Limited quantity of 10 scionwood for sale at this time. Maybe next year there will be more available.

Here's the cost for this cutting:
1. Estee, $25 each.
2. Order quantity = 1 per forum member.
3. Must be a forum member for 6 months to purchase.
4. Sales to lower 48 states.
5. Shipping Cost, $10.20, USPS priority mail, small box.
6. Total Cost => $35.20
7. I take PayPal only, Friends & Family.
8. I have the right to refuse to sell to anyone.

When I find some photos of the fruit, I will post it later. For now, you can see the photo on the other posts of the giant loquat comparison below.
