Loquat

A member of the Rosaceae species of flowering plants, the Loquat is native to cooler geographical regions in China, where it can still be found growing wild.

The evergreen Loquat tree is grown commercially for its yellow fruit, as well as cultivated for its ornamental properties. Loquat flowers appear in the late fall to early winter, and its fruits ripen anytime from early spring to early summer.

Loquat fruit is round to pear-shaped, grows in clusters and has an edible yellow, orange or blushed skin. It is sweetest when soft and orange in color, with a hybrid mango-peach-citrus flavor.
