Does not need full sun.  Large sweet fruit when thinned.  Reliable producer.  I never had problems with birds eating my fruit until last year and this year they were early and vicious.  I had to net the tree this year.

My loquat came from Daleys and I was a little hesitant to proceed with my purchase due to our tropical climate. It has been in the ground for a year and I chose my site carefully. So far so good - the new growth on the top has come since it has been in the ground.

Pollination: No

Loquat - Enormity (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

This is a very sick loquat! It is very exposed and was a bad choice of plant from the start - as the graft was so low on the trunk. With the constant wind and salinity it has not fared well.

I recently discovered a large stem canker (collar rot) hiding under the bark at the graft point - which just peeled away. I have scraped it back and treated but it probably won't survive.
