SMW,  there's hardly anyone that could accurately determine what type of loquat you have there.  The possibilities are endless!  Might even be a new hybrid created from cross breeding of local trees.  If you like the taste and appearance, I would keep it and be happy.
Hope this helps,
JJ

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Cold Tolerance after 2025 Freeze
« on: April 23, 2025, 01:37:52 PM »
For my citrus in Zone 9a/south La. I suffered losses of older satsuma trees (20+ yrs) and a navel orange (3 yrs) tree too. Another owari satsuma tree was heavily damaged but pulled thru.  My older loquat trees were burned back also.  Several fig trees were burned back to the ground.  Slow recovery this year.
  Mother nature is cruel sometimes!

Bonsai wire?  Great idea

Old school but it works fine.

I've seen several types of limb spreaders on the web.   Has anyone field tested different limb spreaders?

Many thanks,
JJ

All,
My Aiden trees seem to be more of a smaller dwarf type of tree. Is this your experience too?
Thx,
JJ

Thanks for the input. Always looking to add a tasty cultivar to my ruby glow/alata vine.

Water Lemon- Passiflra laurifolia   
I’m thinking about adding this one to my garden. The fruit seems to be very edible too.   AKA jamaican honeysuckle.  Anyone tried this?

Hi, 
I have fresh cuttings of giant passionfruit (Passiflora quadrangularis) and ruby glow (passiflora alata).  Both are vigorous growers & delicious varieties.
