I love loquat trees. More people should know about them, the flowers have a wonderful perfume, the leaves are tropical looking and the fruits delicious. Here in Portugal I have a little collection of them in front of my house. I have Peluche, Golden Nugget, Champagne, Tanaka and Algerie. The trees are very young but the golden nugget and tanaka have little fruits forming. I have just today ordered an Early Red loquat tree. Thanks for encouraging UK growers to grow them.

The UK can be a little more challenging for them but it's still possible to get them fruiting here. You have some wonderful varieties, I hope to pick up an Early Red myself when next in mainland Europe. Best of luck with your trees. 👍🏽

I planted my first, and one and only, Nikita's Gift persimmon tree in March of 2020. I've still not been able to harvest any fruit, as of Jan. 2025. I am hoping this time next year, I'll be eating fresh persimmons. The branches, currently, have flower buds, all over the tree. My tree is about 8 feet tall right now, and about 5 feet across. It's taller than wide.

@@MoebiusUK Fingers crossed they're OK! I would not risk unprotected citrus outside with prolonged overnight temperatures at or below 1 degrees Celcius. The frosts are not as severe where you are (a built-up area). But I find that, where I am, which is on the outskirts of a Surrey village settlement, the overnight temperatures are several degrees colder when there's no cloud in the sky. So, for example, if the overnight temp for my area is forecast to be minus 1 degrees Centigrade, my digital IR thermometer registers minus 3 or minus 4. If you could get two 6 metre by 10 metre plastic tarpaulins and enclose your plants under those two layers, weighing down the tarp edges with anything heavy like housebricks, sandbags, bin liners filled with sand./gravel/soil, or 5 litre plastic bottles filled with water, I guarantee that you'll not have ice forming on on your plants even during those Arctic winter freezes lasting a whole week or even a fortnight. The tarpaulin (or two tarpaulins, as two layers are better than 1) trap a relatively warm 'bubble' of air (radiated heat from the ground) around the plants. I say relatively warm, because the temperature under the tarpaulin could be 5 degrees C above freezing, which, although not exactly warm, is 'too warm' for ice formation, and that's what really counts with subtropicals (obviously, for anything ultratropical, one could see damage with temps under 10 degrees C. But, for subtropicals like citrus, 5 degrees C is fine).

@@garycard1456 Great advice, Gary. Yes, subtropicals are easily do'able (with a little effort) in our climate. Tropicals tend to require a greenhouse with heating or bringing indoor. Ultra-tropicals are beyond what I would attempt in the UK. I'm currently doing hard-landscaping at my allotment. I plan to plant mostly exotics there. When I visited earlier today I noticed many of my neighbours plants had severe frost damage. I can tell already that I will need temporary covers to protect any in-ground exotics I plant there.

A truly stunning tree 🤩 the contrast in colours makes it such an attractive tree in autumn 🍂 Sorry to hear the majority of fruit dropped this season, but good to see a number of fruit still on the tree. Looking forward to the taste review.

Thanks, Joe. The colours are really pretty when contrasted against the other plants. I enjoy the beauty of the foliage as much as any summer flowers. It's a shame the tree dropped so much fruit but I guess it knows whats best for itself so I'm not too bothered. It still has a number of fruit on which are swelling and should be ready in a few weeks. Yes, no doubt I will do a taste review and see if they differ from last years crop.

I've seen some really good reviews of this variety. It's great to see it's produced a few to try this year. I think I remember you got a fruit from this tree either last year or the year before?

It was the year before and a different variety. The one I got fruit from before was a Wabash. That plant has actually grown a bit since then but unfortunately didn't flower this year. I'm really excited to try the fruit from this Mango. The plant itself was the pollinator for the Wabash I got in 2022 but it has never set fruit until now. I'm so pleased I've gone on this pawpaw journey because it's starting to pay off now. This year I 've had maybe 10 KSU Atwood (4 left in the fridge) and will soon get 4 Mango but I can already see flowerbuds on my Maria's Joy and my NC1 has really grown too. I'm looking forward to you producing fruit on your trees, Peter. I'm 100% certain you will get excellent fruit in the next few year which may well be the most northerly Pawpaw in the country. Exciting stuff. *Although a couple of weeks back I did sell some grafted pawpaw trees to a guy in a town called 'Morpeth' which is very northerly. He collected them in person.

​@@MoebiusUK Ah yeah, Wabash, that was it. Yeah, it's wonderful to see all your pawpaws finally starting to come into bearing! I was very impressed with your KSU Atwood tree, it's done incredibly well this year! Yeah, hopefully in years to come, I might start to see some fruit. I can see at least one flower bud on one of my inground trees. I don't think my other has any though and I've not checked any of the potted trees closely. Oh wow, I just looked up where that town is, yeah that's very northerly lol 😂

Cheers, Peter ... I'm in awe of this tree really. Generally these hybrid persimmons look fantastic in autumn and all have different colours to their foliage. It's such a shame we don't see them planted in public spaces.

Thanks, G ... It's such a lovely time of year. These hybrid persimmons are really nice, in that they look good in autumn and bear fruit outside of the typical growing season.

Good use of the organza bags for the fruit to drop in instead of the ground. Its interesting to hear about the different flavor profiles of cultivars, looking forward to trying some of my grafts in a couple of years 🤞

Organza bags are an excellent method to protect fruit from pests and fruit drop. These ones I bought aren't great though as the draw-string is a little too short for tying around branches .... also, because pawpaw often grow in bunches, they can be a little difficult getting a single fruit inside. Good luck with you grafts. I've seen a few videos of the trees you've grafted and they look amazing.
