Anyone growing or tasted a 'Novak' or 'Pupello' loquat?
« on: November 13, 2021, 11:56:39 AM »
I have an 'Oliver' loquat and want to add another variety. Did not like the 'Champagne' or 'Sherry' that I tasted. I have read that 'Novak' and 'Pupello'  loquats are good varieties. Just fruits and Exotics have these varieties for sale, so I thought of asking for some informed opinions before hitting the buy button.

Old thread but information related to loquat var 'Pupello'.

I have a plant obtain from JF&E that's been in the ground maybe over 1.5 years. First time it held fruits till they ripened orange. Tasted very sweet- almost syrupy, with no acidic component. "Sweet tangerine or citrus" flavors I got with other cvs didn't come to mind when I tasted these last week. Just syrup. Fruits were on the small side though. Tree is barely 3 ft tall.
The Earth laughs in flowers. And bear gifts through fruits.
No where to plant it ...but at least I got it. ;)
F*ck squirrels and deers
