Hi

I want to plant a loquat tree in my yard, but I can not find it in my area in west Melbourne.

Could anyone please let me where can I buy it in Melbourne, thanks a lot.

Cheer,

George

I saw some of these in Bunnings at Craigieburn,VIC

They fruit in summer, If you can wait grab some fruit. The seeds are super easy to grow and they shoot fast. Once its big enough treat it to a good diet and feed regularly while its in a pot. When you plant it out, give a deep hole full of compost and sand.

Now that is a wonderful answer
It really is easy

These make a sensational feature tree in a front yard also.
Like so many fruiting trees, they will perform and look better than many unproductive trees.

And if I remember back to my childhood the fruit is delicious. My grandmother had a tree in her backyard and it was always my job to climb the tree and pick the fruit that she couldn't reach from the ground.

Geoguo if you can't find a tree and want to buy an established one, flick me a PM and I'll give you the name of a wholesale nursery where I got my Loquat tree, he also has many other grafted fruit and nut trees and as Fu often says, a productive tree is more beneficial, specially in a smaller garden. Not sure he'd want his name posted as the retail arm of his business is very small, but I know he ships trees all over the country. Would expect you would need to wait until around April/May but no harm in asking, if you don't have any luck locally.

Well great to know our resources are extending across the Pacific now.

I'll add a few options soon.

oh i love loquats!!!!!!!

i had grand plans for quite an orchard in our house, but it seems we have a possum problem, so will have to re think it for now until the other reno's are done

I haven't even seen the fruit here in the shops......takes me back to visiting Nanna and Papa
