Description:Excerpt from The LoquatLoquats do well wherever the production of lemons is successful. They blossom and set fruit from October to February and, while the blossoms are fairly resistant to cold, the developing fruit is liable to be injured by temperatures much below 30 F.The loquat tree is not particular as to soil requirements. Although poor soils and a scanty supply of water will produce an abundant crop, and the individual fruits may be of good flavor and quality, they are almost invariably small. Since size is an important factor in a commercial fruit, the fertilization and irrigation of the soil will have to be regulated so as to produce fruit equal to the market demand.The loquat tree is very prolific and liable to overbear. A common practice in some sections is to crowd the trees into rows twenty-four feet apart, with the trees twelve feet apart-in the row. This helps to dwarf the tree and to produce more uniform and regular crops.Some of the best varieties have been developed in California. The best var'iety for an early market is the Early Red, which often ripens in February. The best mid-season varieties are the Champagne, Thales, Advance, and Victor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
