Eriobotrya japonica Large Shrubs Site in sun for theThe loquat, Eriobotrya japonica, is a handsome broadleaved evergreen of the rose family, kin to apples, pears, and hawthorns, grown for the bold foliage and the early, unusual fruit. Native to the warm temperate hills of central China and cultivated in Japan for more than a thousand years, the loquat has traveled with settlers throughout the mild winter world, from the Mediterranean to the American South, where old dooryard trees are a familiar sight.
