Loquat Fruit Tree

Question

I have a loquat tree that doesn’t bear any fruit. It is very healthy and growing strong. It’s about 5 years old. Any ideas?

Answer 1

It may be a fertilizing issue, likely a nitrogen/phosphorus inbalance. Too much nitrogen in the soil will prodcue healthy growth but limite flowering and fruiting production. Try adding some more phosphorus-rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to sncourage more flowering and fruiting.
