Loquats are more popular in California b/c of the weather. My neighbor in Cali had one. As a kid I would just sit up in the tree b/c it was a giant tree, and eat fruit all day. To me they tasted like Apricot texture with Pear, Grape combo taste. Always two seeds that were perfect for slingshot ammo.

Loquats are moderately common around the Mediterranean and Iberian peninsular. I remember picking good ones from trees along paths and roads in Italy for example. They're also one of the more common uncommon fruits (does that make sense?) in London where I live. Really nice fruit. I think of them as like a sort of mix between an apricot and a plum.

Anybody who has watched All The Fruit (another fruit review channel) or has spent time shopping around for exotics knows that Iberia is *fantastic* for exotic fruits. Particularly the Canary islands, Madeira, and perhaps even the Azores, but the mainland too. Try to find some figs because almost across the board the best fig varieties seem to come from Iberia and the south of France, with only a little competition from southern Italy and some chance Californian seedlings.

Now might not be the best time to find the amount of fruit varieties and species grown here because that number peaks during late spring/summer, but there are a lot. At this time, you might find persimmons, different citrus fruits, or even guavas! Come summer, and you'll have all sorts of Prunus fruits, mangoes, prickly pears, and who knows what! People love to collect different fruit bearing trees, and it's always fun to roam small villages and check what people have and if they can give you some or sell it. I do hope you enjoy your fruit hunting and do come back during a warmer season to have an even greater experience!

Probably too late for this comment to get noticed but still. The loquat is called "níspero" in spanish (an nêspera in portuguese, please correct me if I am wrong) and both in Spain and Portugal they are pretty popular and pretty delicious. The tree is also pretty popular in gardens and orchards as it grows very well in the Iberian Peninsula. Funny thing is that the name "níspero" originally referred to the European medlar (Mespilus germanica) but after the arrival of the loquat we started calling it "níspero del japon" (japanese medlar) and it replaced the original European medlar, which is now very hard to find (I planted one last year). I think it is still used in the Basque Country to make some kind of traditional chieftain batons there (any basque people could correct me here) but otherways is very rare.

Also, the trees are much more cold hardy (15 F or so) than the developing fruit (usually damaged at 25F), so loquats would not be commercially reliable as a fruit crop even on the Gulf Coast (Mobile area, also in the Florida panhandle) which typically gets short, sharp frosts potentially as low as 20F a few nights each year, let alone inland. (In Florida at least, loquats bloom in late fall and most ripen in early spring, so fruit development is during the cold season.) The trees do fine however.

When I was a child growing up in Brisbane Australia in the 60’s and 70’s. We had a bullock’s heart custard apple tree. The fruit was Hugh (dinner plate size. I found the fruit closest to the skin a little grainy and preferred the fruit around the seeds, more succulent. Fun fact. We also had 2 Loquat trees. The fruit was smaller than yours. But I learnt to shoot the seeds ( with some accuracy) by squeezing the seed between my thumb and pointer finger. The seed was the right size and shape with just the correct amount of slipperyness to shoot out between finger when pressure was applied. Also loquat we’re one of my favourite home grown fruits.
