Loquat is different from most fruit trees. It blooms in autumn or early winter, and its fruit matures in spring to early summer, earlier than other fruits, so it is called "the only fruit tree that prepares for the four seasons". Loquat has white or light yellow flowers, five petals, about 2 cm in diameter, and five to ten flowers in bundles, which can be used as honey source crops.

Extended data:

Loquat is native to subtropical zone and needs high temperature. It can grow normally when the annual average temperature is above 12℃, but the annual average temperature of economic cultivation should be 15 ~ 17℃, without severe cold weather. The flowering period of loquat is in late winter and early spring, and the low temperature in winter and spring will affect its flowering and fruiting.

When the temperature is -6℃, it will cause freezing damage to flowers and young fruits at -3℃. Pollen begins to germinate above 10℃, and the most suitable temperature for pollen germination is about 20℃. However, when the air temperature or ground temperature is above 30℃, the growth of branches, leaves and roots is slow and poor. When the fruit meets the high temperature of 35℃ 7 ~ 15 days before picking, it is easy to cause sunburn injury and even lose its edible value.
