Hard Id

[Fidur]

I see this tree is in my everyday way to work.



So I took some seeds and growed them:



As you see, thorns, yellow fruit, rounded leaves,....
I've been searching for its id, with no luck.
Can you help to identify it?

loquat tree

Leaves are normally more.... ruffled-imprinted on loquats.. but that’s close.. could be certain varieties DON’T have the ridges..

The seedLING has pomegranate characteristics.. but if the fruit was like a plum...

Hmmmm.

 

[HorseloverFat]

Brainy-like pit?

Do the fruits stay yellow?... like is “yellow” ripe?

 

[Fidur]

As a side note, it seems even birds reject these fruits....

Do loquat trees have thorns?


The 2 to 4 inch leaves are dark green above and white or light green on the underside. The long white canes, rachis, petiole and midrib all have sharp curved spines or thorns.




looks like thorns in one of your pics?

The fruits go from light green to yellow when ripe. As you see them in the floor...

Are there Tropical Honeysuckles....? birds wouldnt eat that.

Nope, no orange flowers. I'm not sure, but I think flowers are white (but I can´t remeber it well)

Wild plum?

 

[rockm]

Look up "Trifoliate Orange" or "Poncirus trifoliata" or "Flying Dragon Tree"

 

[Fidur]

Wild plum?

I think, leaves are different. Also it seems wild plum has no thorns...

 

[_#1_]

Maybe some type of Trifoliate orange, Poncirus trifoliata?

Young stems of trifoliate oranges are green though so...

 

[HorseloverFat]

Yellow Jaboticaba (Sp)?

 

[Fidur]

Looks up "Trifoliate Orange" or "Poncirus trifoliata" or "Flying Dragon Tree"

Poncirus trifoliata is very similar in leaves and thorns, but the fruit is more like an orange....
