Our backyard just got its first frost of the winter, and a lot of our trees took a hit. We've been working to build up our microclimates to keep the yard warmer, but we woke up the other morning to see not only freezing temps, but 20 degrees in one area of our yard! But while some plants didn't make it, like the sweet potato vines and possibly some baby bananas, there is one tree that hasn't seemed to notice the cold: our loquat!
The loquat is an extremely attractive, medium sized tree that has an umbrella-shaped canopy. Its leaves are big and dark green, its flowers are really fragrant, and its golfball-sized fruits are super juicy and taste like a cross between an apricot and a mango! It's also one of the earliest trees to produce fruit for us in the spring. Even better, this tree is cold hardy, so it doesn't need any special care in the winter! This tree is absolutely one of our favorites of all-time!
