How Do You Graft A Loquat Tree?
The Loquat tree is a native to Japan, with yellowish oval fruits and 1-inch dark brown seeds. It was spread across the Mediterranean by the French and the English; now it can be found most anywhere in the world. The loquat fruit share the same ancestor as the apple and pear. The loquat blooms in late fall through early winter, with white blossoms that are fragrantly sweet. When the blooms first appear, they resemble the consistency of a rough piece of wool. Sever the rootstocks tips until they are of the same length, preferably 6 inches. Carve away any lateral buds that would sprout new roots once in the soil. Slice into one rootstock at a 45-degree angle, just 1/4 of the way into the edge of the tip. The angle will be cutting down into the root lengthwise, removing a wedge piece of the root. Repeat this with the other rootstock, adjusting the depth of where the cut will be made at the tip. You want their bases to be of same width, so go in more or less than 1/4 of the way if necessary
