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.
The loquat has a high sugar, acid, and pectin content. It is eaten as a fresh fruit and mixes well with other fruits in fresh fruit salads or fruit cups.The fruits are also commonly used to make jam, jelly, and chutney, and are often served poached in light syrup.n the US, the loquat tree is hardy only in USDA zones 8 and above, and will flower only where winter temperatures do not fall below 30 Â°F (â1 Â°C). In such areas, the tree flowers in autumn and the fruit ripens in late winter.
