BJ says... Okay, we had a terrible year for loquats. The Nagasakiwase bore an early crop well before mid-winter, which was okay. Champagne had two super light crops of seedless small fruit, which were not great in flavour. Mizuho was the only one that bore fruit in season and man were they good! Like a really good juicy yellow peach. I didnt thin, but the fruit were still about twice the size of the otehrs but superior in flavour. Added bonus is that the fruit flies didnt get into them. I'd put Mizuho ahead of the others grown under my conditions. Then Champagne (when it does bear properly), then Nagasaki, which is prolific, beats the fruit flies and taste is alright. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 5th October 2012 9:10am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... My seedling Nagasaki is divine, they've been coming on now for the last 4 weeks. I grafted a Champagne on to my Nagasaki-wase seedling and tried the fruit last year, which was nice, but not as nice as the seedling Nagasaki, in my opinion. The Champagne graft is a shy bearer, no fruit this year, weird, no fruit to speak of on four other Loquat trees here either. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 5th October 2012 1:09pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... has anyone had erratic bearing in their loquats this year? my mizuho is the only one id say has cropped at the correct time. the champagne is just coming into full bloom now after two very small seedless winter crops and the nagasakiwase was loaded early in winter. its been a very strange year for them... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 31st October 2012 9:10am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... My 1 yr old loquat in pot is now flowering for the first time, so very excited. Is this correct season for loquat flowering? It's only 5 ft tall from soil surface, not 6ft as I mentioned I one of post post above. I have read on some other thread here abt fungus issue with loquat trees. Is it ok to spray tree now to avoid any fungus considering its flowering now or avoid spraying now? | About the Author Db Brisbane 8th January 2013 8:48am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... I had a seedling of a local seedling flower for the first time this year, it came in about a month later than mammoth. The seedling was a much darker orange inside and out with stronger flavour. They are both good, just different, the main thing is the different shape and the seedling only having one small seed, the mammoth 3 seeds I believe. | About the Author Jason portland 8th January 2013 10:12pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... My grafted Nagasakiwase Loquat is fruiting now for the first time (bought Feb 12 and growing in pot).. Currently have around 100 fruits on it.. Fruits have now started ripening one by one - they are very yummy, ripe fruit has perfect combination of sweetness and tartness, so I'm very happy with the taste.. But some of the fruits are splitting (cracking) before they are ready to pick (only few at this stage), what could be the reason? I water this pot everyday, am I over-watering it which causing fruit splitting/cracking? Or could it be due to recent rain here in Brisbane? | About the Author Db Brisbane 13th April 2013 11:30am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... Julie, if we put 2 bags around the fruit instead of only 1 bag then probably we can avoid ff attack completely, what do u say? But twice the cost. Also, I have seen preety large bag on ebay - 30 X 45cm bags, from ebay picture they seems to have tieing thread on very top edge of the bag, so u don't loose top 2-3 cm that u loose with other normal organza bags. So they seems very good to me but they are expensive - $18 for 20 bags. I'm going order them only when I need it. For now I'm using 20 x 30cm bags and they are ok for loquats too as my tree is fruiting for the first yr and so have small bunches of fruits. | About the Author Db Brisbane 22nd April 2013 7:40am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jenny says... Very happy with my young grafted N-W loquat it has given me 2 small bunches this year hopefully more next year delicious! I bagged them and only one got hit funnily enough not fruit fly but a brown grub eating the seed. First time eating loquat a bit like apricots maybe but not as intense.

BJ says... I was about to hack my champagne back and graft a scion onto a sucker of the mizuho, when I saw wads of flowers pushing at the top of the plant. Erratic blooming and bearing seem to really affect the champagne cv. It had a small but divine winter crop. Probably better than the big mizuho from last season. I'd prefer it to crop once per year, more heavily. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 28th October 2013 8:37pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
