Check out the Loquat tree – it's totally mesmerizing and can make any outdoor space look stunning. Its leaves are always green and shiny, and it grows these little yellow fruits that are so yummy.
The Loquat tree, also known as Eriobotrya japonica, has a really great look with its big, tough leaves and branches that curve gracefully. The leaves are like 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) long and have these lines that make the tree look even more fancy. In the late autumn to winter, these pretty little groups of white flowers come out, and they smell great. Then, in spring to early summer, we get these juicy, pear-shaped fruits that are 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) long. Once they ripen, they turn yellow and taste sweet and sour, kind of like apricots.
