Is a subtropical tree belonging to the rosaceae family. The fruit, kernel and tender leaves are all used for medicinal purpose. Nature and flavor : sweet sour and moderate.

Evidently loquat leaf is a very popular folk treatment not only for cancer but many other diseases in Japan. In any case, I happen to be one of those who really enjoy eating loquats and I think the tree which seems to grow in diverse climate zones is very beautiful. It wouldn't hurt for anyone to have their own home loquat tree.
