Loquat seedlings wanted Christchurch

I know there are trees in Christchurch as well as Rangiora - does anyone have either the little seedlings that come up, or some seeds please.

Yes, Christchurch. Contact me through me through my listing under 'services'. Cheers,

Will take several years before fruiting if you just grow a seedling. Best to get one from a Nursery that has been grafted. will fruit quicker and better. Same applies to all fruit trees really

I would love to give you some seedlings! I have given many hundreds away over the years and they always fruit well - take about 6-7 yrs. I also have a few blackboy peach seedlings. You could leave a ph no on one of my listings - I won't reply on it, so it wouldn't become public.

I've not found a nursery in Christchurch that has them. and it doesn't mean to say that they have chosen the right variety to graft - it might be the one that looks the best when fruiting, but doesn't taste as good.

Will give you a call later on or tomorrow OP. I have some lovely seedlings. Cheers.

Wow, I didn't know that Loquats would grow in ChCh or Rangiora . I always thought they were frost tender.
I'm not asking for seedlings junie . just commenting, t'is all.

junie2, Apr 30, 5:50pm
Yes, they do well here. I have some to spare samanya - let me know if you'd like a couple.

samanya, Apr 30, 8:23pm
I'd be thrilled to have a couple, junie2 .I'd be happy to buy them from you,. maybe you could list a couple for me? .

thank you June for the loquats - have been told they can be frost tender for the first two of years. have passed on the extra trees I got & will be planting my two on the hill.
