Gardeners and landscapers enjoy growing loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) for its small, juicy fruits, handsome evergreen foliage and fragrant white flowers. The tree grows an umbrella-shaped canopy that provides shade in hot, sunny areas. A loquat tree can reach up to 30 feet tall in its 20- to 30-year lifespan.
Native to China, the loquat tree is an evergreen with large, stiff leaves. Growing alone in the open, the tree is very symmetrical, with a compact, dense crown, and can attain a height of 25 feet and a spread of 15 to 20 feet. The leaves are glossy, dark green above and whitish to rusty tomentose beneath.
