Pollination Info
Coppertone Loquat Pollination
Coppertone Loquats are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Coppertone Loquat will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: This plant prefers full sun for at least 6 hours a day but can also thrive in partial shade. It is not particularly sensitive to soil type or pH levels and can withstand environmental salt. Additionally, it exhibits a fair degree of tolerance to urban pollution. Due to its size, it can be grown alone in a container, making it a versatile option for indoors or outdoors.
2. Watering: This shrub thrives in both dry and moist growing conditions but cannot withstand standing water. Also, plants grown in outdoor containers and baskets may need to be watered more frequently than those grown in the yard or garden.
3. Fertilizing: During the winter months, it's advisable to apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant to create a protective barrier, especially in areas with harsh exposure or colder microclimates.
4. Pruning: This plant needs regular care. Only trim it after it has flowered to prevent accidental removal of the current season's flowers.
5. Pollination: This plant requires cross-pollination with other plum varieties, such as Vanier, Shiro, and Satsuma.
