Friends of #Hive . Today's topic is about a plant called "Japanese loquat" this plant is native to Japan as its name suggests, for me it is emblematic, because it reminds me of a beautiful stage of my childhood and adolescence. Every time it was fruit season, my brothers and I, until we did not see it unloaded, we did not stop eating those delicious, sweet and sour and juicy loquats from Japan. Which by the way were from a neighbor's yard. I hope you like it.
I will explain some of its characteristics, from planting to harvesting, taking advantage of the fact that in the Bosquecito of our urbanization, it is being planted along with another variety of plants. It is worth mentioning that this land is part of the green areas, and for a few years now, a group of ecological neighbors have been in charge of maintaining and protecting it, together with those of us who live there.
