When you are in the mood for something special - you need a Loquat Liquor

When you are in the mood for something special - you need a Loquat Liquor
🥃 When you are in the mood for something special - you need a Loquat Liquor. This is what you do with so many loquat fruit.

🍑 Loquat tree is an excellent choice for any garden, as it is quite cold hardy, drought-, poor soil- and salt tolerant. The delicious fruit look and taste similar to apricots, but there is only one problem: there are too many of them! Make Loquat the perfect fruit for an easy home winery...

🍹 Loquat Liquor recipe

Wash loquat fruit and slit in 4-5 places. You may leave seeds in for Apricot-nutty flavor similar to Amaretto. Combine fruit with vodka and sugar in a wide mouth jar and cover. Stir fruit once a day until sugar is dissolved. Then stir once a week for 4 weeks. Drain liquid and strain through fine cheesecloth. Enjoy!

You can dispose the used fruit but we usually give it a second life: add water, bring to boil, let sit, chill, and it will make another (almost non-alcoholic) drink!

  • ✔️ 3 quarts of loquat fruit
  • ✔️ 1 quart vodka
  • ✔️ 3 cups sugar
  • ✔️ vanilla to taste (optional)

Loquat, Japanese Plum, Nispero
Small tree 10-20 ftFull sunModerate waterEdible plantSubtropical or temperate zone plant. Mature plant cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short timeSeaside, salt tolerant plant

Season: January to April. Small, well-shaped tree. Large 12 long, stiff leaves, dark green above, whitish underneath. Yellow to orange color fruit, somewhat pear-shaped, 2 long and 1 1/2 across with 1 to 3 seeds. Eaten fresh, in jellies and wines. Moderate growth, salt tolerant. Fruit may be thinned to increase size. Many varieties. The loquat should really be used more, the fruit is especially good just eaten out of hand or in poultry casseroles. The plant, too, deserves more attention because it's a lovely hold-leaved green beauty. The orange fruit resembles an apricot when it is ready for picking because of its orange color. Wash and dry the seeds and plant them 1/2-inch deep in good fertile soil that has ample drainage. With proper care and frequent repottings, the loquat can grow into an attractive tree in gardens where temperatures don't go below 25 degrees F. Loquats are sometimes called Japanese medlars.

Large shrub 5-10 ft tallSmall tree 10-20 ftSemi-shadeFull sunModerate waterRegular waterWhite, off-white flowers

Oxyanthus sp. (Whipstick Tree) is a fascinating plant native to South Africa. It is a large shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 5 - 10 ft tall if grown as a shrub and 10 - 20 ft tall when grown as a tree. It has horizontal branches, resembling a large bush with a rounded canopy.

In warm climates it prefers full sun, though it will tolerate some light shade. It has a moderate water requirement, preferring regular deep soakings to keep the soil evenly moist. Each season is rewarded with fragrant, greenish-white, off-white flowers borne in dense heads of long slender corolla tubes. The blooms are showy and often bring an array of people to the garden. The flowers are followed by orange-yellow fruit.

The Whipstick Tree can be grown in pots in colder climates, however, drainage must be a priority as plants living in pots dry out more quickly. If grown in a pot, it should be placed in a sunny location and kept moist. As its water requirements are low it is a great choice for containers in drought prone areas or when water restrictions apply.

This striking evergreen can grow in USDA hardiness Zones 9-11, if provided with well-drained soil and plenty of sun. It is a hardy plant, tolerant of both heat and drought once established. Overall, it is a low-maintenance design and offers an abundance of color and structure with its unique foliage all year round.
