Selling Loquat Seedlings: Timing, Hardiness, and Fruiting Expectations

I have thousands of volunteer loquat seedlings from my tree in Florida and want to sell them on eBay. When to sell? How hardy are seedlings? When will container-grown trees fruit?

Loquat Seedling Sales Guide

Timing: Sell in spring. Hardiness: Don't sell north of Zone 7 without explicit cold warnings (hardy to 10°F only when mature). Northern buyers should pot and overwinter indoors until spring. Fruiting: 3-7 years from seed, depending on growth. Legal: Contact your county extension agent for interstate plant shipping regulations. They're listed in government pages of the phone book.
