Growing loquats in the Pacific Northwest

What are the odds of rooting it in water or soil?

I haven’t been able to get loquat cuttings to root in a few attempts, but Fruitwood does it pretty successfully, and they told me their method of you wanted to try it:

Loquat propagation via cuttings

I asked Fruitwood Nursery how they go about rooting loquat cuttings, since they sell rooted plugs. Here was Marc’s answer, in case anyone else wants to try this method: We usually get at least 50% takes when we root them in our propagation greenhouse that has a light shade and sprinklers that go off 4 times a day for a short period. Nothing fancy. We do dip them in rooting hormone before sticking them into a 50/50% peat/perlite mix. Best, Marc

I don’t know about grafting at this time, it seems pretty late, but I’ve also never tried.
