| Botanical Name | Eriobotrya japonica |
| Description | The Japanese Loquat is a dual-purpose standout for the Houston metro area. Not only does it produce delicious, apricot-like fruit with a refreshing tart-sweet balance, but its large, leathery, deep-green leaves provide a lush tropical aesthetic year-round. It is incredibly heat-tolerant and one of the few fruit trees that flowers in the fall and winter. This 5-gallon size provides a more established root system for quicker growth in Willis backyard orchards. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 15-25 feet tall x 15-20 feet wide |
| Water | Requires regular watering while establishing. Once mature, it is quite drought-tolerant. However, for the best fruit production in our Willis summers, provide supplemental water during dry spells to prevent fruit drop and maintain foliage health. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Chill Hours | Low (approx. 100-200 hours) |
| Harvest Time | Late Spring (March to May) |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
