When I was still living in the East Bay, loquats were a favourite of mine!
They're planted all over the place, but it doesn't seem that people eat the fruit anymore. Easy to pick your fill when they're ripe. They aren't the best eating, but not half bad.
- Baeocystin 6y agoThey make a very tasty jam! https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1113054 https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1113054 The seeds make a good liqueur, too. https://www.reddit.com/r/glassblowing/comments/1h5je5/my_latest_bottling_of_loquat_seed_liqueur/ https://www.reddit.com/r/glassblowing/comments/1h5je5/my_lat...
- NL807 6y agoThe post on Arstechnica forum is related to Loquat trees, which is different from Medlars.
- Baeocystin 6y agoYes. 11235813213455 was thinking of loquats, not medlars, so I added on to that.
