Eriobotrya japonica
Evergreen tree very well adapted to the Mediterranean climate. Highly appreciated spring fruit.
The loquat tree needs an outdoor location with direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours a day and moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. It is a hardy tree that tolerates frost down to -8 °C, making it well suited to Mediterranean climates without any special winter protection. Plant it in autumn in well-drained soil with plenty of space, as it can reach up to 8 metres in height and 6 metres in width. Enjoy its fragrant white flowers in autumn and winter and its fruit in spring, with minimal maintenance thanks to its easy-care nature.
