Loquat Tree – Níspero

Bring a delightful and rewarding evergreen fruit tree to your garden with our live Loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica), widely known as the Japanese medlar or níspero. Loquats produce heavy clusters of small, golden-yellow fruits featuring a succulent, translucent flesh that balances rich sweetness with a refreshing tang. They are wonderful for enjoying fresh straight from the tree, or transforming into delicious homemade jams, jellies, and pies.

The tree features an exceptionally ornamental appearance with large, leathery, dark-green corrugated leaves and a rounded crown that provides a gorgeous tropical-to-subtropical look year-round.

Varieties:

• Christmas
• Bradenton
• Oliver
• Champagne

How to Care & Grow

1. Sunlight: Plant in full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct daily sunlight) for optimum flowering and heavy fruit production.
2. Soil & Planting: Thrives in rich, fertile, and well-draining soils with good organic content (ideal pH 6.0–7.0). Avoid waterlogged spots.
