I Grew Loquat Trees From Seed and this is what happened | 0 - 6 YEARS of Growth!

Описание: Let's explore how I grew Loquat trees from seed, right through to harvest. This took several years to get to this point and today we'll dive into the full journey from start to finish of growing these beautiful and productive fruit trees!

Quick facts about Loquats:
•Loquats (Eriobotrya japonica) are evergreen trees native to China.
•They belong to the Rosaceae family, which also includes apples, pears, and roses.
•Loquat trees can tolerate temperatures down as low as 10°F (-12°C) without serious damage, but temperatures below 27°F (-3°C) can kill the flowers or fruit.
•The fruit is also known by other names, including Japanese plum, Chinese plum, and pipa in Chinese.
•Loquats have been cultivated for over a thousand years, prized for their sweet and tangy flavor.
•Loquats are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and dietary fiber.
•Loquat leaf tea, also known as "biwa cha" in Japanese, is a popular beverage in East Asia. It is made by steeping dried or fresh loquat leaves in hot water. This tea is believed to have various health benefits, including soothing sore throats and aiding digestion.
