Light: Prefer full sun but can tolerate some light shade. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for healthy growth and fruit production.
Watering: Loquat trees have moderate water requirements. They prefer consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods and when the fruit is developing.
Height: Typically grow to a height of 3 to 9 meters.
Temperature: Loquat trees thrive in subtropical and Mediterranean climates with mild, frost-free winters and warm summers. They can tolerate brief periods of light frost but not extended cold spells.
