Eriobotrya japonica - Loquat trees are evergreen, have a short trunk, and may reach 20 to 35 ft in height. They have a rounded to upright canopy.

A strikingly beautiful, small to medium size evergreen tree, Loquat features long, dark green, deeply toothed foliage and tasty, light orange, apricot-like fruit. Loquat is very happy in the Maritime Northwest, although its pesky habit of blooming in the winter makes it difficult to produce fruit in our region. Loquat’s ornamental value makes it well worth growing and, depending on the winter weather, you should occasionally receive a crop of this unusual and delicious fruit.
