I'm in zone 9b (Orlando). The Florida Ag department has cut down all
(seven) of my Orange trees due to citrus canker. I'm trying to find a
replacement tree for one of my oranges that was providing shade to
some delicate foliage. I can't replant citrus for two years due to a
citrus canker quarantine.

The question..... what is a good replacement tree that grows to about
20Hx20W and keeps its leaves during our mild winters?

Thank you in advance.

try a loquat, eriobotria japonica, nice big leaves, delicious fruit.

Thanks for the reply. Just so happens I bought a Loquat Saturday
morning for delivery Wednesday. It had all of the characteristics I
was looking for.

I planted a cary mango tree after the gov. cut down my grapefruit tree.
They're delicious and the tree provides shade.
