The Strawberry gets its name due to its fruity alpine strawberry taste and texture. The trunk becomes quite thick, and the canopy stays balanced in width and height. Due to Alpine Strawberries liking colder climates, owning this loquat becomes a great alternative for someone seeking to satisfy the flavors of sweet and wild strawberries not found in the grocery store. Strawberry does best planted in the ground, but can be grown in a container with appropriate pruning. Thrives well in part or full sun and makes a great ornamental tree for cornering landscapes in addition to a great tasting abundance of fruits.

Be advised that the actual fruit of a seedling will not be the same as its parentage, but many physical properties of the tree’s genetic markers may carry over, such as size, growing patterns, prolificity, resistances and tolerances. Also, actual fruit does tend to be similar in many regards and may even have an improved flavor if you are fortunate.  Our loquats are pollinated with only improved cultivars and the seeds will carry over much of the desirable characteristics and qualities.

Our loquat seeds have been freshly harvested for the season and have a shelf life of approximately 6 months and should be planted as soon as possible once received.  Loquat seeds must be germinated in moist-dry conditions (not wet), and prefer coarse sandy, loamy soils with a good mix of fine pine bark particulates and humus--extremely well-draining.  Loquats are not heavy feeders, and the use of fast-release fertilizers should be avoided.  Only fertilize with slow-release, light feeds with micros such as polymer-coated controlled-release for supplying mineral nutrients.

Our Rootstocks

You may purchase rootstocks varying from germinated seedlings to full-grown specimens up to 100+ Gallons for a variety of trees and shrubs. Rootstocks can be utilized as a grafting base for your scions, or you can have us build-to-order customized grafted or cocktail trees for you if you don’t mind the wait (6-24+ months depending on the project). We carry Dwarf, Semi-Dwarf, Standard and Vigorous Rootstocks for many tree types.

Whether you have us graft an apple, mulberry, loquat or other tree or shrub type, we will utilize specific rootstocks based on your needs or location.

We also carry hundreds of germinated controlled crosses as starter saplings under 12 inches--primarily for our unique Loquat selection (Kanko x Wolfe, for example). If you're looking for a specific combination, we likely have it out of our thousands of germinated selections. Feel free to inquire at Sales@akmegardens.com.
