Loquats
Perhaps the mild winter helped, but we have a reasonable crop of Loquats
this year. The tree (Eriobotrya japonica) is very handsome and worth
growing if you have a sunny site. Birds love to shelter under its huge
evergreen leaves on rainy days.
I've seen it growing in many places in SE London, but wonder just how
far north it is able to grow. Do any urglers grow this tree - or see it
growing - further north?
