Good! Thats a weird time for them to sprout though, in the middle of summer... Probably has to do with its adaptation to growing in shade when young, or they adapted to shade due to their germination time. I have to bury mine in pots this year, got 100% gemination!

Nice pics! I had some old A. triloba seeds in a room for over a year (not refrigerated). Last week I threw them in a germinating area outside, and one has already sprouted 😆

The loquat is branching after a year of being planted outside. Little grasshopper too...

Oh, and we never had our grapefruit flower or fruit yet. It is only six years old and I have been told that seed grown citrus take ten to twelve years for first fruit. This is why grafted bushes and trees are sold in nurseries... they graft on twelve year old tree growth to rootstock.
Our grapefruit tree was dug and potted up in August and is now seven feet tall in our living room.

Here is reference, Mike, to one of my previous posts as well in regards to my grapefruit trees and the pomegranates.

Hi Adam
your Loquat looks good. Are you protecting it this year?

Thanks Tim. The Loquats in the back yard (30 of them) are in a windsheltered courtyard microclimate and have no supplemental protection. The one pictured in our front yard has wind protection only (fabric around stakes).
