Good value for a grafted tree
Arrived well-packaged with healthy roots. The graft union looks solid. Looking forward to the first full harvest next season.

Hardy and beautiful
Not only does it produce great fruit, but the foliage is lush and attractive year-round. It handles cold snaps better than expected.

Exceeded expectations
Living in a transition zone, finding cold-resistant fruit trees is hard. This Red Star loquat is perfect and the fruit color is stunning.

Great flavor, slow start
The fruit tastes amazing, very sweet. The tree took a few months to establish itself after shipping, but now it's growing strong.

Best early variety I've found
Harvested fresh loquats in November! This is significantly earlier than my other trees. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an extended harvest season.

Thrived in my northern garden!
I was skeptical about planting loquats this far north, but the Red Star variety survived last winter without any protection. The early ripening is a huge bonus.
Q: Does this variety require a pollinator tree?
A: Red Star Loquat is partially self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit on its own, but planting a second loquat tree nearby will significantly increase yield.
Q: What is the exact ripening month for southern regions?
A: In southern regions, you can expect harvest to begin as early as late October through November, depending on your specific local climate conditions.
Q: How soon after planting will I see fruit?
A: Since this is a 2-year-old grafted sapling, you may see some fruit within the first year, but a substantial harvest typically begins in the second or third year.
Q: Is the tree shipped bare-root or in a pot?
A: To ensure the health of the roots during transit, we ship our saplings with their root balls wrapped in moist material, similar to a bare-root style but with extra protection.
Q: Can this tree survive in USDA Zone 7?
A: Yes, the Red Star Loquat is specifically bred for cold resistance and can thrive in USDA Zone 7 with minimal protection during extreme cold snaps.
