Description
It is an evergreen large shrub or small tree, with a rounded crown, short trunk and woolly new twigs The tree can grow to 5-10 m tall, but is often smaller, about 3-4 m
The leaves are alternate, simple, 10-25 cm long, dark green, tough and leathery in texture, with a serrated margin, and densely velvety-hairy below with thick yellow-brown pubescence; the young leaves are also densely pubescent above, but this soon rubs off
Loquats are unusual among fruit trees in that the flowers appear in the autumn or early winter, and the fruits are ripe in late winter or early spring In Northern California, loquats bear fruit in May The flowers are 2 cm diameter, white, with five petals, and produced in stiff panicles of three to ten flowers The flowers have a sweet, heady aroma that can be smelled from a distance
Loquat fruits, growing in clusters, are oval, rounded or pear-shaped, 3-5 cm long, with a smooth or downy, yellow or orange, sometimes red-blushed skin The succulent, tangy flesh is white, yellow or orange and sweet to subacid or acid, depending on the cultivar Each fruit contains five ovules, of which three to five mature into large brown seeds The skin, though thin, can be peeled off manually if the fruit is ripe
Loquat in flower This is a cultivar intended for home-growing, where the flowers open gradually, and thus the fruit also ripens gradually, compared to the commercially grown species where the flowers open almost simultaneously, and the whole tree's fruit also ripens togetherThe fruits are the sweetest when smooshy and yellow
[edit] Use
The loquat is comparable to the apple in many aspects, with a high sugar, acid and pectin content It is eaten as a fresh fruit and mixes well with other fruits in fresh fruit salads or fruit cups Firm, slightly immature fruits are best for making pies or tarts The fruits are also commonly used to make jam, jelly, and chutney, and are delicious poached in light syrup
A type of loquat syrup is used in Chinese medicine for soothing the throat like a cough drop Combined with other ingredients and known as pipa gao (枇杷膏; pinyin: pípágāo; literally "loquat paste"), it acts as a demulcent and an expectorant, as well as to soothe the digestive and respiratory systems Loquats can also be used to make wine
Like most related plants, the seeds (pips) and young leaves of the plant are slightly poisonous, containing small amounts of cyanogenetic glycocides which release cyanide when digested, though the low concentration and bitter flavour normally prevents enough being eaten to cause harm
[edit] History
Loquats and a Mountain Bird, by an anonymous Chinese artist of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279)The Loquat was introduced into Japan and became naturalised there in very early times, and has been cultivated there for over 1,000 years It has also become naturalised in India and many other areas Chinese immigrants are presumed to have carried the loquat to Hawaii
The Loquat was often mentioned in ancient Chinese literature, such as the poems of Li Bai
Eaten in quantity, loquats have a noticable but gentle sedative effect, with effects lasting up to 24 hours
[edit] Production
Japan is a leading producer of loquats (January to June)[citation needed], followed by Taiwan and China (March to July) They are also grown in the Mediterranean region (for example in Cyprus, France,Israel, Palestine, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Spain,Morocco, Algeria,Syria, Turkey), and also in Armenia[citation needed], Australia, Bermuda (where it is commonly used in jam), Brazil, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Portugal
[edit] Cultivation
The Loquat is easy to grow and is often also grown as an ornamental tree; it was commonly grown in California by the 1870s It also thrives in the humid south-east Texas (Houston) climate, as well as all over Israel The boldly textured foliage adds a tropical look to gardens, contrasting well with many other plants
[edit] Etymology
The name loquat derives from lou4 gwat1, the Cantonese pronunciation of its old classical Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 芦橘; traditional Chinese: 芦橘; pinyin: lújú, literally "reed orange") In modern Chinese, it is more commonly known as pipa (Chinese: 枇杷; pinyin: pípá), from the resemblance of its shape to that of the Chinese musical instrument pipa (琵琶) Likewise, in Japanese it is called biwa, similarly named from the corresponding musical instrument, biwa It is also known as the "Japanese medlar", an appellation used in many languages: nêspera or magnório (Portuguese), níspero (Spanish), lokaat (Hindi), mušmula ili mešpula (Croatian nespola (Italian), náspolya (Hungarian), nespra (Catalan), nèfle du Japon or bibasse (French) Other names include: sheseq (Hebrew), Askidinya, Akkidinya, Igadinya or Bashmala (Arabic), Akkadeneh or Akka Dhuniya (Lebanese), zger or Nor Ashkhar (Armenian), mushmala (Georgian), mousmoula or mespilia (Greek), muşmula, yeni dünya, or Malta Eriği in Turkish The Armenian name Nor Ashkhar and the Turkish name yeni dünya literally mean "new world", while the everyday Turkish name for the fruit, Malta eriği, means 'Maltese plum', indicating perhaps confusion over the fruit's origin
