I have a bunch of Christmas and Bradenton. I really like the sour flavor of these two, but haven't tried any that you mentioned.

Thank you! I have never had either of those varieties. Have lots of seedlings and want to add some named varieties. Please PM me with details of how to get scion wood. Thanks again, I appreciate you.

Welcome Mikey1. I am still looking for scions myself. Did get some earlier but the trees have fruit right now. I am hoping some will surface in another month or so. We will keep looking. Good luck.

Not sure if this helps, I got orange dream from Fruitwood nursery this spring and grafted to my seedling.
In a few years if you would like I can swap you for some other loquat scions you may have. Not sure what their inventory is now but worth checking they have some decent varieties

Thanks Gkight! I was able to get Angelino, Avri and Sugarcane scions. Still looking for others. Trade sounds good to me. I also have White Vista and Honeyquat.

@RevivalRoots, I purchased cuttings of the KT's. They were grafted on seedling trees and are doing fairly well. The heat and lack of rain has been a challenge but they are alive.

Fruitwood has rooted cuttings of Orange Dream available now if you’re still looking for it. I only have one graft on one of my trees so it will be another year before I can get you a stick, it’s been growing slowly. I think they are only $10 right now due to their sale

I just grafted a seedling variety that I found and the only loquat variety that wows me so far. Willing to trade for other varieties if anyone is interested in a year or two.
