¤ evergreen tree to 10'

¤ hardy to zone 7
¤ small white flowers in fall
¤ large orange fruit in spring
¤ fragrant flowers
The loquat is a small evergreen tree that we love to grow for its tropical look. It flowers in fall and fruits in early spring, so do not expect fruit in Raleigh unless we have an abnormally mild winter. Foliage can be cut and brought inside for winter decorations and the flowers are white and fragrant. Select a somewhat protected location in your garden, since plants are sensitive to severe cold. This selection has leaves splashed with white variegation.
