Re: Looking for Acacia smallii source in the Bay Area...

Gary,
I planted a loquat sapling in my backyard about 10 years ago. Was sold to
me by an elderly Sicilian gentleman for $1 at local flea market. It 
only started flowering and fruiting this year. Has been hardy enough to
withstand cooler California temperatures, although I remember picking
fruit from my father's backyard in Hawaii where the temperatures are
warmer.

Thanks for mentioning this tree which I've seem in vacant lots around
here. Some are called bronze loquat and seems to be drought resistant.
