The Yehuda Loquat is a highly regarded variety prized for its excellent flavor, firm texture, and cold hardiness. It produces medium to large oval fruit with deep orange skin and juicy flesh that remains pleasantly firm when ripe. The flavor is sweet and well balanced with a touch of acidity, often featuring tropical notes reminiscent of mango and apricot. With its small seed cavity and high flesh-to-seed ratio, Yehuda is an outstanding choice for fresh eating and home orchards.
