Growing Tips

The Japanese Loquat thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It can tolerate a variety of soil types but does best in slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Regular watering during the first few years helps establish a strong root system, after which the tree becomes quite drought-tolerant.

Choose a large pot with good drainage, and use a high-quality potting mix. Place the container in a sunny spot, and rotate it periodically to ensure even growth. Regular pruning will help maintain a manageable size and encourage more fruit production.
