Gardeners and landscapers enjoy growing loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) for its small, juicy fruits, handsome evergreen foliage and fragrant white flowers. The tree grows an umbrella-shaped canopy that provides shade in hot, sunny areas. A loquat tree can reach up to 30 feet tall in its 20- to 30-year lifespan.
Kumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, either forming the genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensu lato. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but is much smaller and oval, being approximately the size and shape of an olive. They are slow-growing evergreen shrubs or short trees, from 2.5 to 4.5 metres (8 to 15 ft) tall, with sparse branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers pure yellow, similar to other citrus flowers, borne singly or clustered in the leaf-axils. The kumquat tree produces 30 to 50 fruit each year. The tree can be hydrophytic, with the fruit often found floating on water near shore during the ripe season. The plant is native to south Asia and the Asia-Pacific.
