| Re: What kind of tree is this? Definately a loquat(Eriobotrya japonica) an Asian tree with yellow fruit. Also it needs to be bigger and well watered perhaps to flower and fruit, we have them here and they never fruit because its not warm enough. I guess you don't have that problem though. |

| Re: What kind of tree is this? Definitely a loquat. You need to remove the stake. The plastic ties will strangle the plant. Bloom? Blooms in December / January. Fertilized it lately? If not, you can't expect much from it. Soak it very well the day before, then pour on a 5 gallon bucket of any water soluble plant food ( organics are best) at 1/2 the recommended dose. Do this once a month and it will grow and bloom. Loquats easily reach 25 feet tall at maturity. |

| Re: What kind of tree is this? If the tree wilts when you remove the stake, then put a stake at 45 deg to the main stem and cross them then loosely attach a rubber tree strap to hold but not strangle the tree this will encourage it to build up strength to stand on its own as up til now it's had a splint to lean on. and everything treespecialist said.

This report probably refers to the hydrogen cyanide that is found in many plants of this family, the seed should only be used in small amounts if it is bitter[K]. In small quantities, hydrogen cyanide has been shown to stimulate respiration and improve digestion, it is also claimed to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer. In excess, however, it can cause respiratory failure and even death. Range E. Asia - China, Japan. Habitat Not known in the wild[109].
