Our loquat (eriobotrya japonica) usually has a few flowers in the autumn,
but this year it has produced a huge array of sweet-smelling flowers. We are
hoping for a bumper harvest of fruits in the spring if the winter isn't too
fierce. Have other gardeners found the same this year?

Very much so!!

I'm hoping for a crop next year too!

Last year I had 3 fruits, this year 1 but at the moment every branch is
laden with blossom and there are bees frantically working overtime! A winter
without too much harsh weather would now be nice!

It's certainly been a good year for us, Our Tahiti Lime is covered in fruit
in all stages of growth and a Lemon tree I saved from a neighbour has an
excellent crop of fruit for the first time ever.
