Loquat - Nagasakiwase ^7/10

Comments: - A good loquat beats supermarket apricots. Hardy, productive. First season's fruit have been superb. Second season fruits ripened very early due to an unusually warm winter, and were very sweet but not as flavoursome.  Will consider thinning fruit for a better harvest next year.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Abundant sweet yellow fruits year round here in the tropics of Central Qld.  Our family of 6 all try to beat each other to pick these little treats!  The tree is about 8 years old and has been fruiting well for the past 3 years.  Low maintenence, just an occasional prune every couple of years to keep the tree compact and the fruits easy to reach.
