Turn Your Garden into a Tropical Paradise

Transforming your garden or backyard into a tropical retreat has never been easier thanks to the Loquat. Plant them by themselves or intermingle this Asian beauty with a few palm trees and you can create a tropical paradise right at home.

Perfect Size for a Multitude of Planting Possibilities

Loquats will grow to about 10 feet high, making them a good size for a diversity of planting options. The shiny, thick leaves with saw tooth edges and delicate white flowers combine for a tropical look and fresh scent that will help you escape from the day's stress.

Delicious Fruit with a Flavor all its own

The visual appeal and subtle fragrance aren't the only tropical features of the Loquat. Its juicy orange flesh has a delicious tropical flavor-like a sweet, tangy plum and a kumquat all in one.

Loquat Means Low Maintenance

Capable of tolerating winds, drought and a wide spectrum of soil types, Loquats thrive in full sun and do well in partial shade. Well draining soil and plenty of water are about all your Loquat will require.

Fruit Growing in 4 Months!
I live in central FL. Great plant! I bought in October 2014. It shipped fast and came in good healthy condition. I planted it in a nice big sunny area with good soil and mulch on top, and ran some drip irrigation around it. I bought the little fertilizer tablets, but haven't even needed to use them. It's very healthy looking and just started growing little clusters of loquats around January. They are still green right now, so haven't tried eating any yet. I am very happy with this purchase. I was expecting AT LEAST a year or two before we saw any fruit. Will definitely buy more plants from here in the future. Thanks! -Matt

I just received the Japanese Plum (Loquat) tree in the mail and I am so happy. The tree is vibrant and the appearance exceeds my expectations. The shipping container (tall cardboard box) was excellent and protected the tree during shipment. Cannot wait to plant. Thank you!

Loquat tree
I purchased Loquart tree which is tropical fruit so I was not sure it grows in my area which is Zone 7, but it is growing, so much so I got another one. They haven't produce fruit yet but I am guarding them by placing net cover and despite windy area they are giving flowers now I had seen mature tree in the past but never with flowers. Hopeful I get some fruit; even without they are evergreen and give nice trees. Also Fast-Growing sent they very promptly and help me to prepare to plant them. It was very helpful and reliable. They said they would mail in next day and that was what happened.

Better than expected
I was pleasantly surprised by the maturity and size of the tree when it arrived. It was packed well and arrived in great shape.
I have had the tree for several month. I overwatered it before leaving for a trip and the leaves were yellow on the bottom row but the tree bounced back. It is lush, green and growing. Perfect tropical tree for my Florida lanai. Excellent quality..

Question- Can someone answer
I emailed and called the customer service. I asked to know what type of loquat tree they sell. They have one picture of the White Loquat and another one of the Gold Nugget under the same order. There is no drop down window to give one the option to choose. I got a call back saying that they would check and after that, no one called. I do want to purchase, but growing up with Loquat trees, I really want to make sure that I get the Gold Nugget one. ANYONE can Help please? I Love the reviews and am hopping to get my question answered, so that I can get my own tree. Thanks, Tatjana ( 202- 468-1439. Hoping to be a customer soon)

Planting & Care



It's Easy to Plant & Care for Your Loquat 'Japanese Plum'



Step 1: Dig Your Hole


Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Loquat 'Japanese Plum'.

First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.

Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.

Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Planting & Care

Step 2: Place Your Plant


Next, separate the roots of your Loquat 'Japanese Plum' gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.

The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.

Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.

To make it just right, use a level.

Step 3: Backfill Your Hole


As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.

Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.

Water your Loquat 'Japanese Plum' again after the transplant is complete.

Loquat tree-Will this tree produce edible fruit and, if so, how long until it begins producing?
A shopper on Jun 9, 2014
BEST ANSWER: Fruit is delicious but I am not sure how long before it produces fruit. The one we had when I was growing up was already many years old and always produced a tree full of fruit. It is still producing and is about 80 years old or more.
What type of fertilizer to use?
Lonnie F on May 8, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Look for organic fertilizers formulated perfectly for citrus trees, such as Citrus-tone from Espoma and Dr. Earth Organic 9 Fruit Tree Fertilizer. If you cannot find either of those, you can use palm fertilizer, as they have almost identical requirements.
Is the Loquat purchased from FGT considered Citrus, is it self pollinating, and what is the best fertilizer for them? Also can they be pinched back at top to keep the height down as I am container growing this plant.
falvino on May 5, 2015
Is gold nugget loquat ?
Qiwei Y on May 7, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Our Loquat is the Champagne variety.
DO YOU SELL SELF-POLLINATING LOQUATS?......I'M THINKING ABOUT ORDERING THE 5-6 FT....AND WHAT TYPE OF FERTILIZER IS BEST TO USE......THANKS.....
SANDRA T on Apr 11, 2015
BEST ANSWER: They are self-pollinating. You could use a 6-6-6 NPK three times a year during or a lawn fertilizer that does not contain a weed killer.
How big are the fruits?
Yang W on Apr 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: We carry the Champagne variety and it is a M-L size and approximately 14-24 grams.
Do we need two trees for polination?
Dominique b on May 11, 2015
can the seeds from the loquat fruit be planted?
john b on Mar 26, 2015
BEST ANSWER: They can be grown from seed, but they will take years longer to produce and the fruit is not always tasty. The benefits to grafting a tree are that it will produce sooner, it will have a true taste and they are more disease and pest resistant.
Can we grow Loquat trees in Sun City, CA?

Lakota on Apr 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: All of our fruit trees are grafted.
should the spent blooms be pruned off the loquat tree??
A shopper on Oct 22, 2014
BEST ANSWER: Sorry I can't help. I just planted mine a few months ago and they haven't bloomed yet. I think that even if they should be pruned off, after a few years they'll be so high in the tree that I'll just let them auto prune.
Good luck

Gilly on Aug 10, 2014

BEST ANSWER: I had mine in a container for a year to let it grow some more. It seemed to grow fine, just in a container you need to water it a bit more as it drives out more easily. It is now planted in the ground and doing fine.
My loquat has white fuzz on it.Do you know what it is?
sharon T on Jul 18, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Both the leaf and fruit will be fuzzy. When the fruit is young (green) and when the leaves are new (pale green), they will have more fuzz that thins out as the fruit ripens and the leaves mature. The fuzz on ripe fruit and mature leaves can be easily rubbed off from handling or rubbing between your fingers. This is quite normal and a healthy loquat. This fuzz is not usually a solid white. Solid white comes from these white moth-like bugs that lay eggs on the leaves, sometimes eating at new leaves.
is loquat tree self pollunating or need more than one plant?
satya g on Jul 24, 2014
BEST ANSWER: While some loquat tree varieties are self-fertile, many are not. A self-fertile tree has both male and female flowers and will produce fruit on its own. A tree that is not self-fertile will only produce when planted near enough another loquat tree for cross-pollination to occur. A tree that is only partially self-fertile will produce without being paired with another tree, but fruit production will be reduced. Bees are the primary pollinators of loquat trees, so if there are no bees, you should expect a small crop.
Do I need to buy the patio planting kit if I have to plant the tree in my backyard ?
A shopper on Jun 15, 2014

Surinder M on Aug 10, 2014
