I planted this loquat about three weeks ago is it fried??
Is this Loquat fried??
It just looks a little wilted, probably from transplant shock. You might see if you can rig up some shade to protect it from the sun during the hottest part of the day until it gets established a little better. And make sure you're giving it enough (but not too much!) water.
tc,
How's the loquat looking now?

Barbara,
That rain we had last week did the trick!!!
Loquats are pretty tough once established. Just keep the water on it for now.
Looks great! Like Dean said, keep the water on it till it's established. I know you're glad.

Did you ever any advise for prunning your loquat?? I thought that it looked good.
I had one I planted at my parents house I grew from seed it must be 30' tall now. I never pruned it. The deer ate off the lower branches and fruits.
Dean-- Is it your opinion that the loquat doesn't need to be pruned?? My Dad used to grow these but I don't remember if he pruned or not?? Wish he was still here-- I wouldn't have to ask anyone anything.. I just wish I had paid attention!!!
I would say no, but I'm not sure if you want to prune for fruit production. Maybe, someone else can help with that. They can get tall. You would need a ladder to get to the top of the tree.
If I did prune it would be to keep it managable.
