Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How do I know what variety of loquat I have?
« on: April 30, 2025, 08:16:06 AM »
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!

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

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?
