Loquat

The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a small, evergreen, sub-tropical tree, 5–10 meters tall, known for its dense canopy of large, leathery, serrated, dark green leaves. It features fragrant, white flowers that bloom in fall, producing clustered, pear-shaped orange/yellow fruits in spring. The sweet-tart fruit is edible with 1–5 large seeds.
