I have a small just rooted Black Madeira.  It would be ready to travel in 3-4 weeks.  Are your loquats grafted or seedlings?

Great, please let me know which one you like Beyondista.

All my fruit trees are either grafted, airlayered or from cuttings. No seedlings.  
I'm only able to provide cuttings or scion wood.

I don't have anything to trade at this time but would love to see pictures of your layout. You have a lot of really cool things!

I'm not a grafter so I don't really have use for scionwood. I'm guessing loquats do not root from cuttings.

Loquats will root from cuttings but from what I've read there is a high mortality rate initially. There is a guy on YouTube that propigates cuttings of loquats by cuttings and he also says he losses a lot of them. He does use rooting powder as well. I've also read that air layers are tricky on Loquats. I'm currently attempting an air layer on my Loquat. I'm right at 3 weeks and no sign of roots in my clear bag yet but I can see nodes raising up and turning white under the clear grafting tape I use to seal off the ends of the bags. Looks very promising so far. I used a new shoot and cut the ring 1 inch long about 12 inches from the tip of the shoot. Applied clonex to the the wound and wrapped it with moist sphagnum moss. All signs are good so far. I'm expecting roots in the next few weeks.
