Jo Wallbank starts with ... Hi We recently purchased a Loquat tree and planted it a few months ago , it is now covered in flowers, is this ok or will it slow the trees growth ? We were told with our stone fruit trees to remove the fruit for the first 18 months or it would slow the tree's growth . We did this and the trees thrived, should we do this with the immature loquat?

Waterfall says... I know with mango if you just cut the flower they sometimes will just flower again so you usually let small fruit set and then remove. I am not sure if it would be the same with loquat but it would be less risk if you just remove small fruit. Don't worry, they grow very fast and you will be enjoying lots of fruit next season. We have a grafted nagasakiwasi and the fruit are delicious! | About the Author Waterfall WATERFALL,2233,NSW 3rd May 2017 9:52am #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |
