#loquats — Public Fediverse posts

One of the talk shows that I listen to has recently brought up the topic of loquats because one of them just planted a tree, and none of the other people, co-hosts or guests, know what it is.

I'm very familiar with it because we had trees in the front and back yard when I was a kid, and the fruit was plentiful. Not too sweet, good texture on the skin and meat of the fruit. Fairly large seeds.

I feel like I don't ever see them in stores. #loquat #loquats #fruit

Last summer my S.E. Asian housemate showed me how loquats could be picked like bunches of grapes - cut off the stem that bears the bunch.

Amd then I saw what happened to all the unpicked loquats - how they stayed on the tree, bred fruitfly and provided a perfect site for a fungal disease that looks like anthracnose.

This summer I'm picking all the bunches to see if the tree gets infections.

Also opened the centre of the canopy to make a vase shape for sun and air.
