Loquat Trees are beautiful evergreens with delicious, sweet, and slightly tangy fruit that that's reminiscent of kumquats and plums; in fact, loquats are commonly known as Japanese Plums. This is the kind of fruit you just have to grow yourself to enjoy, because it's best and freshest straight off the tree. You'll never see loquats as a grocery store staple due to the fruit's perishability, so make your food forest your own unique grocery store. Loquats make excellent jams, pies, and healthy snacks. They are great as indoor or outdoor plants.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Mulberry Fuel: Set it and forget it for 90 days

While we call it Mulberry Fuel after our favorite fruiting tree, this fertilizer can really be used on any fruiting plant to ensure its plans come to fruition.

Apply the granules of this 20-6-9, slow-release formula to the soil surface of your plants and they will slowly feed them over a 90-day period.
