I think the loquat is in too much shade. See what happens this spring.

Sept 2013: Tree has taken off, growing through winter. Had a branch full of flowers, took all but 5 off to see what the fruit are like. Taste great; juicy, sweet, nice texture when bright yellow.

Loquat - Seedling

Comments: -

I am not sure what variety loquat I have as it was a gift but I don't think it's grafted. It is probably one of the most vigorous trees in my garden. I have alwasys kept him in a big concrete pot to try and limit him size but I don't think he listens to me. It didn't fit in the pantec when we moved and I had to cut the crown out (and even then he had to bend over to fit). He didn't mind though and has gone crazy since.

He will be 4 next year so I am hoping to get my first crop! I have noticed a few of these trees around Newcastle and they all seem to being growing well.

He is VERY thirsty. New leaves and branches get droopy in dry weather. A good water and there is no permanent damage. I grow native violets in the pot as an early water indicater - if the violets droop it's time for a drink!

Winter 2011: I have my first flowers! Fingers crossed that I will get fruit soon! I took the pic a bit late so the flowers have gone skanky but they are still flowers!

Fertiliser or Organics Used: chicken poo, worm castings, Seasol, Charlie Carp

Pest Control:

slaters = the pot got a bit of a slater infestation and they started eating the leaves. I filled the pot up with water til it was overflowing which triggered a slater exodus and then got rid og them by hand (well foot actually).
