Gold Nugget Loquat Tree, Five Gallon Container Shipped potted in soil for best possible results when planted in yard or garden. Gold Nugget loquat is a very popular, late season variety with medium sized orange fruit that is sweet and juicy. This loquat is a vigorous tree that is self fertile, so no need for a second tree, so plant with confidence if you live outside 'typical' loquat growing areas. Plant your Gold Nugget loquat in full sun, enjoying its bold foliage and tough and hardy demeanor, as it takes lots of summer heat and even temps into the teens in the winter, hardy to 12 degrees. Pick your fresh loquats April into May.
