Peluche Loquat (rare)

Peluche is an extremely rare Spanish cultivar.  It has the largest of all loquat fruits and has the largest leaves as well.  This makes it ornamental and more shade tolerant. Peluche is more susceptible to wet and windy conditions, and overwatering will lead to splitting of the ripening fruits.  

Lineage: we got our original scion wood from AKME and now have 3 mother trees that we harvest a small amount of scion wood from and grafted about 20 trees so far, each season.
