Loquat Fruits Taste and Impressions 2024 season

<< < (2/4) > >>

sc4001992:
If you can continue to post the brix readings on the fruits you pick that would be good.
Since you're in Florida, I can take brix readings of my loquat fruits in a few months so we can see how much difference there is for the same varieties.

Thanks, Kaz

TnTrobbie:
Absolutely. I love geeking out on brix readings. Still have lots of 'Angelino' and 'Pupello' fruit left as well as 'Cori', 'Ellen Marker', 'Oliver', 'Sherry Woods', 'Yehuda' etc.

TnTrobbie:


'Coy'
Very enjoyable to eat. The Taste reminded me of eating a very ripe star fruit. Brix was 13.
Had another 'Coy' fruit that was sweet and juicy with very little if any, tart. Brix was 12.5.

'Tori'
Nice sweet and acid balance. Brix was 12.

seedling of 'Turkey'
Sweet and juicy with the nice sharp tartness to it. Brix for different fruits: 11, 13, 15, 18.
The 18 brix fruit sampled made me think to my self I might as well be eating a sweet clementine. Delicious! Pop em in the mouth with no peeling.

'Sherry Woods'
Sweet with a nice tart component. Best tasting fruit had a brix of 13 and 14.

'Angelino' and 'Pupello'.
Both were disappointing. Pupello would never ripen properly and split on the tree.
Angelino would look perfect and clean. Soft flesh, juicy, but taste lack luster. Brix ave. ~ 10.

Loquat season in winding down in my yard. 'Ellen Marker', 'Yehuda' and 'Sherry Woods' still left.

TnTrobbie:
This marks the end of loquat season in my yard. Lost a bunch of fruit to squirrels.  The ones that tasted sweet to me I tested the brix.



seedling of 'Turkey'

Might as well be eating a sweet clementine. Sweet. Juciy. Citrusy. Very little if any tart component. Soft melting flesh. Pops easily in the mouth. Mean Brix of 16.8 (18,15,15, 17, 19.)


'Pupello'

Surprisingly sweet compared to early season ones. Didn't not detect much citrus tones. Flesh was chewy/ tough though. Brix 13.


'Angelino'
Sweet/ Tart flavor. Tasted sweeter than it tested. Brix of 9.


'Ellen Marker'
Very sweet yet mellow. The juice has a 'bubbly' component to it. Sort of lively/carbonated/ effervescent/ bright character. Really good flavor. Maybe lemony. Mean Brix of 14.37. (12,14,13,16,17,15,13,15.)


'Sherry Woods'
Sweet with a sharp! taste to it. Mean Brix 13.5,
(14,13,13,13,13,15,14)

I heard Angellino was suppose to be really sweet and good tasting. I hope my fruits tastes sweeter.

Where did you find the Turkey loquat? Sounds like a winner, is it your seedling tree?
