Eriobotrya deflexa 'Coppertone' (Espalier) is a captivating signature piece for any landscaping project. Often known as the Bronze Loquat, this evergreen tree earns high praise with its vibrant bronze-red foliage that matures into a lustrous deep green. Standing tall between 15-20 feet in both height and spread, its majesty is not only in its size but also in its mesmerizing show of moderately fragrant, creamy-white blossoms in late spring and early summer. The small, ornamental fruit it bears primarily catches bird's eyes, adding lively interactions to your garden. Its adaptability and resilience promise a gratifying growing experience. The Bronze Loquat thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates a range from full sun to partial shade. Unusually tolerant to urban pollution, it adds a burst of year-round color and a refined texture to city landscapes. Ideal for incorporating in espalier or as a standalone feature, the Bronze Loquat effortlessly elevates your outdoor space to a masterful display of nature's artistry.
