Fruit: Loquat fruits, growing in clusters, are oval, rounded or pear-shaped, 1 to 2 inches long with a smooth or downy, yellow or orange, sometimes red-blushed skin. The succulent, tangy flesh is white, yellow or orange and sweet to subacid or acid, depending on the cultivar.
Prune out enough branches within the canopy of the tree to allow plenty of light into the branches--which in turn will boost fruit production. Loquat trees are drought-tolerant, but regular watering and pruning are important in order to develop rich hearty fruit.
