Gold Nugget Loquat – Sweet, Compact, and High Yielding
The Gold Nugget Loquat is a high-yielding variety known for its extra sweet, small to medium-sized fruits. Its compact growth habit makes it an ideal choice for smaller spaces and home gardens.
Tree Characteristics:
• Size & Growth: Typically grows 10-15 feet tall and wide, making it more compact than other loquat varieties. It can easily be kept at 8-10 feet with regular pruning.
• Planting Zone: USDA Zones 8-10.
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in large containers, especially in climates where it needs winter protection.
• Flowers: Fragrant white flowers appear in late fall and winter, adding an ornamental element to the tree.
• Fruit: Small to medium-sized, bright yellow-orange fruit with exceptionally sweet flavor.
Use: Ideal for fresh eating due to its sweetness. It’s also great for jams, jellies, and desserts.
Standout Feature: Its compact size combined with heavy fruit production makes it perfect for home gardens. The sweetness of the fruit is another major draw for those who enjoy loquats.
Care Tips: Plant in full sun and provide well-drained soil. This variety requires little maintenance beyond pruning and occasional watering.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
