Growing loquats in the Pacific Northwest

I know I’m going a little off topic but here’s a post with a 31 brix gage.

Green Gage: The Holy Grail Of Stone Fruits

I have a tree that was on my property that I’m pretty sure is green gage. Picture below are some of its fruit and some mirabelles grafted onto the same tree. The one with the skin showing was 31 brix. These are my favorite plums. Sometimes the flesh is like jelly-candies, both in texture and sweetness. I don’t spray, so I cut open all of my plums, and other fruit, before eating so there aren’t surprises. The juice is like syrup. [image] This one below, from 2015, had that lovely texture…

Also have mirabelles at 30 brix.

What did you eat today - that you grew?

Yep, mirabelles - measured a couple. 30 brix for the soft one and 27 for the firmer. Also still very good after 24 hours on the counter. The gages degrade in texture in one day. [20210910_195735] [20210910_195056]
