Where can I find / buy some Japanese plums (loquats) around Ascension?

maybe at that market they have on Saturdays on 621? If not, there's probably someone there who would know.

the trees are all in fruit right now, but it’s not a grocery store item. Best bets are farmers markets, fruit stands or a neighborhood tree

BTW, offer still stands for anyone. I have many loquat seedlings free to a good owner, in Hammond

The only place that I would think that carries them is Bao on Airline in the same shopping center Spanky's is in.

You may be better off finding a neighbor with a tree in their yard.

I looked up the fruit and those trees grew all over the neighborhood.. As kids we would eat those things by the bucket.. Always would get diarrhea...

Try the Prairieville flea market. They usually have produce vendors

Asian Supermarket in BR at Florida and Sherwood has them

we called them mishpilish in lower plaquemines.

Can’t help you with the trees other than to say you can google them and you’ll find many sources. I have yet to find any that will fruit in my zone in Arkansas.

When I was a kid in California, neighbor had a loquat tree that produced what had to be thousands every year. Best. Fruit. Ever. I used to eat them and nearly nothing else for weeks. Good luck in your hunt.
