Loquat Fruit - Stage as of Feb 24th

It's a beautiful sunny morning with temperatures low 60s.  Took notice of how loaded our Loquat tree is with fruit this year.  A few had already ripened but quickly disappeared from what we suspect are birds feasting as the fruit turns orange/yellow.

I've yet to try one that wasn't tart but a lot depends on the variety from what I've read.  Some varieties are sweeter than others.  Might be I'm still unsure when they are at their best/ripe stage.  And I might be pleasantly surprised should I get it right in trying one this time and not be so tart.

Our neighbors love these for making jam :-)
