    You mention you have a small garden, the size of a mature Loquat tree may be overwhelming for your space.

    I have included a few links for you to help in your decision.

    It may be a fertilizing issue, likely a nitrogen/phosphorus inbalance. Too much nitrogen in the soil will prodcue healthy growth but limit flowering and fruiting production. Try adding some more phosphorus-rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to encourage more flowering and fruiting. Plants need phosphorus for flowering and fruiting. Without it, there will be no blooms and thus no fruit. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm

    I believe you may have a few issues with your Loquat Tree.
    Your tree has had some lose of leaves and branching from either lack of water or transplant stress.
    From this image, the tree looks of substantial size and transplating larger trees can be more difficult and require more care.

    A stressed tree can be more susceptible to desease and insects.

    The damage that appears in this particular image matches the pattern that is caused by the Yellow-bellied sapsucker.
    If the damage becomes to severe the tree can become girdled and can lead to the death of the tree.

    Here is a link with more information.
