  • My loquat tree goes down in history as one of my most memorable trees of all time. It has surpassed the Chinese Pistache tree by a stretch because of it's fun qualities. It has provided me with an evergreen interest, privacy from neighbors, served as a conversation piece, and fruited lots of little loquats. This fruit isn't commonly known because it isn't commercialized, but if you are lucky enough to have a loquat tree or know someone who does, then here's some ideas for you to explore for cooking with them. The joy comes from planting and growing the loquat, taking care of it and watching it grow with amazement! What more can a girl ask from a tree?

    I immediately wanted to try a loquat or it’s tea. So good. I love the look of the tree and wow it has grown over the years.

      It's wild how a tree can help you create so many memories. I guess I'm a tree hugger now. hahaha

    Fascinating! Never heard of it before. Does it taste like a peach? Now I want one! No space, but all that fruit!😋

      Thx. I guess it's like a combo between a plum and a peach. I was considering doing a loquat cobbler to experiment. It's tart if picked too soon and gets sweeter as it turns more orange. I also wondered how well they would fruit as a small tree in a pot. I have 2 babies in pots this year ready for the experiment.

    Hi, I love your videos. I researched about the loquat tea and it says that leaves should be dried. I also bought a loquat tree and live in Valdosta so I’m excited to see this tree bear fruit 🙏🏻❤️

      Lol - thanks for that tip and your comment. I will dry them out and try again. Maybe that will help. Hehehe. They fall down in wintertime, and they brown and don't look appealing for tea, but hey, I like to learn new things and experiment. Your weather is pretty similar to ours. My in-laws live in Tifton and they were over there growing papaya though it never had time to fruit before the frost came. The papaya tree came back as perennials each year. I sure hope you get some fruit too. I love it.

      @@homeandlifewithcynthia oh they are growing papaya tree ?? I would like to grow papaya also! Perhaps the tree doesn’t like the cold weather too much, like guanabanas. I have guanabana seeds and now growing 4 little trees since last year in a pot since it is my favorite fruit after passion fruit. Learning on tricks to grow them here in zone 9A since our winters are a tad intense, so for now I bring them outside from April-early October and bring them in next to my window from late October-March. So far they are thriving. If I ever grow papaya trees, I would grow them close to the house and use clear tarp with stakes around the tree to protect on winter with thick layer of mulch. I look forward to watch more of your videos. Stay blessed! ❤️🙏🏻

      @@Soy_Johana_Galindez you and me trying to get all this tropical fruit to grow in our US zones. LOL. I'm attempting a granadilla this year as well (from seed). I love passion fruit but didn't have much luck with that in a previous attempt. Yes, the winter is the deciding factor as it depends how mild or cold it gets or how well it's protected from the harsh cold days. Good luck!

      Hi, I've seen other videos and found that they scrape the fuzz off before boiling. I have 2 new trees, very excited.

    Lady, every year, seedlings will come up all over the yard like weeds. You'll have so much fruit that you can't give it all away.

      Yes, we have been pulling out the seedlings & weeds but they seem contained in that corner area. I have to pull out weeds in other areas of the yard as well. I don’t mind too much. Your statement is true. And yes we had a lot of fruit this year. We tried different recipes. ☺️

    I planted mine from seeds more than 5 years ago. Still haven’t given me any fruits yet

    • @homeandlifewithcynthia
      @homeandlifewithcynthia  5 месяцев назад

      We planted an orange from seed and it never fruited. That’s why it’s better to use a graft because from seed it takes too long to fruit. When you buy plants from the nursery they’ve typically been grafted. We got fruit two years ago and now, but finally this year the fruit is awesome. We planted a baby loquat (from this tree) in the back. It is in its 2nd year with no signs of fruit.

    Grew up with a loquat tree in the yard. The fruit was pureed and added to fruit/nut breads or eaten fresh. Will you be letting the tree get taller or bring it lower?

      @homeandlifewithcynthia  5 месяцев назад

      how cool! I was thinking of trying another dessert with heavy cream and maybe even a cobbler (loquats instead of peaches) - having fun testing all the ideas. It's getting harder to reach the loquats so we did trim some and will have to assess after this year's growth. I kinda think it shouldn't get bigger than it is now, no need. How big was your loquat growing up?

    You have one tree, you will have dozens. Invasive species. The seeds drop, and dozens will sprout every year.

      I have seen the suckers and I just clean them up. I do know what you mean though.
