Loquat growing well in basement
Some loquat pics sending new shoots in my basement, Eriobotrya japonica
And one protected from the wind with landscape fabric outside in the ground now for about two months. (A test)
And lastly, unrelated, is our avocado tree in the basement sending new shoots.

Hey, congrats Cameron and Adam on the loquats!
I'd better check my avocado in the cold barely-heated building.
Doubt it's growing.
Probably shivering.

Hi Jack,
I'll have to visit again so I can get an update on that Loquat. It appeared A OK when I observed it.

from seed, they grow very fast. My tallest plant is 16 inches tall at 10 months after germination. Not sure how fast they grow as they continue on to getting woody.
I have sown a new batch of seeds. So lucky to have found loquat fruit at a nearby supermarket. I bought them all!

So it's YOU driving up the price of fresh imported fruitI bought them all
Somewhere here, years ago, we had a thread on starting seeds from the grocery store.
I started a Starfruit, but it died the first summer outdoors.
A nice winter project nevertheless.
Forgot to get a pic of my 18-inch tall avocado started last year...(in soil, not water).

Planted up at least 40 more fresh loquat seeds yesterday right out of the fruit. Four of the seeds were already growing inside the fruit (which had been in our fridge for the past two months)!

JackLord, if the seeds are relatively fresh, you should have some luck; I purchased my loquat seeds from EBay too!

Well done, Tim.
Sunny days must help through the clear plastic.
It'll soon be 5 feet tall in the balmy temps.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
