  1. Woo! Loquat! I have a random one on my property too, feel like they grow everywhere

  2. What do you do about black wasps that have infested them? We don't eat the fruit because of the bugs.

  3. I've spent 95% of my life in L.A., there a re loquats growing in yards everywhere but I just noticed them a couple years ago when I started growing my own fruit trees. I love "discovering:" trees around town, "sampling" the loquats and bringing home the seeds to plant in my yard.

  4. I don't think I've ever seen or even heard of this fruit imma have to look it up

  5. I don’t have any trees in my garden and have been waiting to find something different and edible.
    I love your channel. Keep up the great work.

  6. You can air layer a large branch and you'll have fruit within a year at times.

  7. Anyone else think Kevin wanted an excuse to eat loquats on camera? LOL. Can’t say that I’ve eaten loquats; don’t think they’ll do well outside in Pennsylvania.

  8. Nice, might add one to the Wolf Gardens setup thanks for the idea an info????????????

  9. I have a loquat tree, probably self pollinating, sweet fruit. Will do the pruning as you recommended. ????
