Loquat is also one of the most vigorous woody weeds in
my own garden, along with bird spread English and
Algerian Ivies. If I didn't regularly weed out these,
I would have thick jungles of both plants.
I don't know about the hardiness factor, but the
ornamental Eriobotrya deflexa is more frost tender
here, but less weedy, no edible fruit, and highly
ornamental copper red new foliage. It is used quite
often along with Maytens, Brazilian Peppers, and
Tristania laurina, as a smaller growing street tree in
San Francisco.
