Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$54.00 ($54.00-$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.

Taro Japanese

I hoping to eat some eventually; I planted it some time ago but haven't attended to it as it's in an area of the garden with self-seeding daikon coming up. Once the diakon are more obvious and can be walked around (or harvested), I will inspect the taro.
