Glad they were nice, sometimes I find the fruits have a refreshing citrus overtone to the flesh. So much better getting fresh fruit straight from the tree 😁

Hey Brett, I really didn’t expect them to taste that good! I can’t wait for mine to produce 🙏🏽

Nice video Joe, that loquat tree is loaded with fruit.

Thanks Johnny, they were delicious 😋

Wow, you're fortunate to be able to pick some fresh loquats grown outside in the UK, Joe! They looked very juicy and sounded like they were incredibly tasty too. I love loquats, I hope I can eventually grow some here 🤞

Hey Peter, I’ve been watching this tree for quite some time. I decided to stop by today and the hospitality that was shown to me by these women was so lovely. I was pleasantly surprised how good the fruit tasted. I do hope you get to grow some were you are. 🙌🏾🌱

Wow they fruit really late across the pond, mine were done fruiting by Feb. those are nice sized ones and I haven’t ever tasted a bad one. I’m amazed at how many different varieties and different tasting ones there are.

@@joestropicals6760 try and find a variety named Peluche that originated in Spain. Huge fruits about the size of a small pear and extremely juicy and delicious. Extremely hard to find in the US but you may be luckier as you’re a lot closer to the source. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm truly amazed at what grows in London's microclimate. When you see these people again maybe you could ask if you can take a few cuttings. That should give you fruit sooner than from seed and an exact copy of theirs.

I can just imagine, it would be so delicious and refreshing in hot weather. Amazing that Loquats grows in Pakistan and can also grow in London…a very adaptable fruit tree. Thank you for your comment and watching my video.

How amazing!! That tree was fantastic, especially after the Winter we just had! Are the fruits a bit like apricots? They look like them.

Brilliant video. Mass of flowers on my loquat tree last year but they died after the winter cold snap. How old is this fruiting tree? Has it fruited every year? Is it protected from freezing weather? Where is the location in London?

Hi - did your loquat fruit? I live on the South coast (Portsmouth) and have a 2 year old tree. Its doing well and have noticed flower buds! My friend in the next road has one and she has delicious fruit every year!

Here in California, loquats can grow almost anywhere. However they are largely planted for ornament. Non Asians rarely appreciate the edible fruit. The same thing is true of feijoa (pineapple guava) - widely planted only for ornament. 👎

Loquats are so delicious 😋 a shame that they aren’t appreciated much for their fruit in California. You guy’s have the perfect weather for both loquats and Feijoa. Send some sunshine my way please 😂
