ED’S DELIGHT LOQUAT

The Ed’s Delight is a small, heavily branched tree with fairly large, sporadic fruit. Named after a customer named Ed who stated “what a delight” upon trying it, the flesh is very sweet and reminiscent of sweet purple table grapes. The tree, due to its naturally fuzzy growth along the branches and leaves, does not seem to do as well in part sun and loves full sun positioning to avoid powdery mildew. Despite requiring full sun, Ed’s Delight makes an excellent container grown tree and keeps a lovely ornamental growth pattern. Due to heavy, sturdy branching and fresh growth tip vigor, it also makes a great candidate for grafting alternate varieties.

Our Loquat Rootstocks

You may purchase germinated seedlings as rootstocks, or larger, vigorous Wolfe and Viking Seedlings. Rootstocks can be utilized as a grafting base for your scions, or you can have me customize a cocktail tree for you if you don’t mind the wait. Most of the younger, ungrafted seedlings are Viking x Peluche, Advance x Harvest/Champagne, Robust x Kanko/Sherry as well as some Dwarf and Semi-Dwarf starters. Please note, the tree heights listed are prior to any custom grafting which takes place.  As an added convenience, we have both green bark and lignified trees to accomodate part sun and full sun conditions.
