RE: Loquacity

Bill,
According to Morton's Fruits of Warm Climates, vegetatively propagated trees begin to bear in 5 years or less, but seedlings take 8-10 years.  You're getting close!

Subject: Loquacity

Help me. I planted two loquat seeds eight years ago. The trees (one in shade, the other full sun) are about 12 ft high. Folklore says that it takes 7-9 years for them to bear. I am waiting patiently as I love the fruit and the conserves/jam to say nothing of the distilled brandy. Should I stop waiting?
