Japanese hawthorn? People believe that loquat originated in Japan. 1989 After returning to China, I decided to correct the mistake that China loquat was wrongly called Japanese loquat. Unexpectedly, he has been doing research all his life, writing papers and changing his name. Lin Shunquan said that loquat growers are mostly elderly people, and young people are reluctant to take over because loquat cultivation is difficult and labor costs are high.
