The loquat (Eriobotrya
japonica) is a large evergreen shrub or tree grown
commercially for its orange fruit and for its leaves, which are used to
make herbal tea. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant.
The
loquat is in the family Rosaceae and is native to the
cooler hill regions of south-central China. In Japan, the loquat has
been grown for over 1,000 years. It has been introduced to regions with
subtropical to mild temperate climates throughout the world.
Eriobotrya japonica was formerly thought to be closely related to the Mespilus
akenly known as the Japanese medlar. It is also known as Japanese
plum and Chinese plum.
Loquats
are unusual among fruit trees in that the flowers appear in the
autumn or early winter, and the fruits are ripe at any time from early spring
to early summer. The flowers are 2 cm (3?4 in) in diameter,
white, with five petals, and produced in stiff panicles of three to
ten flowers. The flowers have a sweet, heady aroma that can be smelled from a
distance. Loquat fruits, growing in clusters, are oval, rounded or
pear-shaped, 3?5 cm (1+1?8?2 in) long, with a
smooth or downy, yellow or orange, sometimes red-blushed skin. The succulent,
tangy flesh is white, yellow, or orange and sweet to subacid or acid, depending
on the cultivar.
Each fruit contains from one to ten ovules, with three to five being the most common.
