Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$44.00 ($44.00-$79.00 choose a size)

The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.

Two varieties growing in my banana patch. Pisang Ceylon (taller) and Red Decca (dwarf). This patch gets all the veggies and fruit scraps collected weekly in the kitchen.

Tabernaemontana pandacaui - Banana Bush

It is my understanding that this species and Ervatamia angustisepala are synonymous.
