Loquat
One of the few hardy evergreen sub-tropical trees grown in N.Z. A small, round tree with large glossy green leaves, small almond scented flowers, fruit ripen Nov/Dec. A little frost tender. Loquats will grow in all soils except those that are very wet or alkaline.
THAMES PRIDE A high quality selection from the Thames area, fruit ripening in December. The apricot coloured fruits appear in bunches and are sweetly perfumed. Thames pride has a mild quincy flavour and can be eaten raw. Self fertile.
