Loquat/Pi-Pa/Mespila/Acadinia
"The only trees that are useful are trees that bare fruit." -- B. Atallah
Months after Bass telling me that he has a loquat tree in the backyard, one day a couple of weeks ago, I looked out the kitchen window, and excitedly shouted with a sudden realization, "You have a loquat tree! Loquats are Pi-Pa!! Oh my god..." I ran outside immdiatedly -- it was true, the tree was baring little green fruits of a familiar shape from my days in Taiwan. It was a Pi-Pa tree; a Mespila tree; an Acadinia tree.
{kids - if you are as ignorant as I was about loquats, educate yourself here}
After months of being neglected, suddendly the loquat tree was now receiving all the love and attention previously given to its neighbors in the backyard -- the deformed lemon tree and orange tree. Like an expecting gradparent, I checked on the loquats morning, day, and night, waiting imapiently as I noted to myself the evolutionary disadvantage of the speed at which the loquats are ripening.
Thankfully with all the rain we've been getting here, the day finally came when we had sweet sweet loquats in the backyard. They don't taste as sweet as the ones in Taiwan, but it has that lovely mixture of sweetness and tartness to it that home-grown fruit tend to have. Bass picked a whole bowl of it this morning, and we munched on it during Systems Neuroscience lecture today -- they got me through the differential functions of internal and external globus pallidus.
Now there is just one mystery tree left in the backyard. I think its a cherry tree, although it could be a plum tree as well, since both these tree bloom when all their leaves are gone and have five petals to a flower. We'll find out soon...
