Hmmm....I'm thinking about uprooting that baby that's coming up next
to the house. I don't even know where it came from, but there's one
coming up about two feet from the house in the back yard. Is that
too close for this size of tree? It's not in front of a window or
anything, just back toward the corner in an empty spot.

I would say it's too close. It grows 15-20 tall. I don't think the
tree would mind and it tolerates pruning well, so you just have to
consider the fruit thumping on the roof and shaping it to grow away
from the house. Can you transplant it further out?

Yes. It just seemed like it must be meant to be there, since I haven't seen
a loquat anywhere nearby.

There two huge trees full of loquats off 2244/Cuernavaca/and Timber Ridge
Pass corner of Timber Ridge Cove. The house up the hill a bit with the
loquats and along with them is a peach tree just below on the right of way
with RIPE peaches!! Whoaa... I couldn't believe it! It's not even May!

And juicy too...!! LOL I just wonder what early variety it is?
