Chinese Plums, Two

July 12, 2012

Chinese plums are also known as loquats–perhaps more commonly.

In addition to finding use in jellies and jams, they’re also a super easy eat.  Just pull them off the tree and pop them in your mouth.  They’re a little furry and firm, but have a good taste.

Loquats are also unusual in that they flower in late fall to early winter, then produce fruit in the springtime.
