The listing, 3D. LOOK! Japanese Plum Tree Plant has ended.

Loquat/Japanese Plum Tree
Loquats have large fuzzy leaves that are green on top and silver underneath. The fruit tastes like a combination of peach and apricot. They are most often eaten fresh, in jellies and in wines. The trees will begin fruiting at just one to two years of age. Cold hardy tree good addition to any garden since it flowers in the winter months.

so can you eat the fruits off the tree or do they need to be cooked into something?

Oh yes, although rather small they are very sweet! And they ripen very quickly when picked, I think that's why you don't see the fruits in stores. All the kids eat them so quickly I've never tried to put them up tho, also they have three seeds and by the time you clean them... Well you get the picture. Flowers appear in the winter in the south ( even this year with 19 ice days!) so they feed the bees when there's no flowers elsewhere.
Hope this helps you, and thank you for your interest! Happy gardening!!

Looking up I find it grows best 8-10 thrives and full of fruit. But in zone 7 it will grow if given a lean to for some protection. Or under some sort of natural canopy
Just learned this myself. Loquat tree

But under Japanese plum which is what I've always called mine , has almost 2" fruit I got this info: ( copied from Internet ) so now I can't really answer what zones.....


When you're considering which Japanese plum tree to plant, research the USDA zone specifically. The Beauty Japanese plum (Prunus salicina "Beauty"), for example, thrives in USDA zones 4 through 10, a wide range. However, Burgundy Japanese plum (Prunus salicina "Burgundy" Plum) thrives in a narrower range and is suitable in only USDA zones 5 through 9.

Hi Den
They're seedlings, and yes they have roots!! Grafting is not needed with this beauty , unlike your common citrus. Fast growing too. I'd say In a pot they're aprox 6-8" tall. But if you look at pic # 7 you'll see how they're shipped, without soil but wrapped of course. Thanks for your interest. Happy gardening !!

They're very hardy and don't mind, in fact don't even show stress of any kind, in transplanting, moving, or repotting!! I love them and have several!!
