    Loquat. Once you pick them they go bad after about 2 days. But they are sweet and can go with a lot of things.

    It does very well in very hot climates like mine. Ive made preserves (canning + sugar). Ive also made fruit leather (kinda like fruit rollups) with a small amount of honey with them. They make for some good toppings and snacks for a good 2 months of the year.

      I may get a loquat, love them. My neighbor has one they trimmed like a bush, so all are in reach, I’d like to try that.

      We had a longan tree at the old house but the wasps loved that tree so much we couldn’t harvest.
