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.
There are several varieties of kumquat trees. The Hong Kong tree is a thorny variety that's only grown as an ornamental pot plant in the western world, although it's cultivated for its fruit in China. The Marumi is slightly thorny with smaller leaves and produces fruit that's somewhat more acidic than other varieties.
