Hi can anyone advise me what I can make with the fruit from my Nispro tree. I have seen Nispro liquor, but wondered if there is anything else which can be made from it. If so, does anyone have any recipies.

Hi Polly.walker and welcome to BE.

I have just tried to google nispro to find out what it is but couldnt find anything, can you let me know what it is?

Nispero are Loquats. they can make jam, booze or can be eaten as fruit - I think they're wonderful.

I can only think that you mean the Sapodilla tree, a Magnolia native to Mexico and called a Nispero in South America.

HERE, they are yummy, you have to get them quick cos the birds love them.

rugbymatt

Wow, they are really hard to grow normally, didn't expect it to be Loquats.



Don't under any circumstances eat the seeds.

We ate the fruit and planted about 6 of the stones last year, this is the only survivor and now looks the worst for wear.

I have heard you can make beer from the fruits.

jdr

I`ve seen a few birds flying loop the loop after eating the rotting fruit. lol

Get yerself a beer making kit and start brewing.


My uncle who lived in Spain for years brewed his own stuff all the while out there.................but never tried Loquats

I think the trees are quite hardy. I planted stones here in UK, from fruit I ate in Spain. I have two lovely trees in tubs and they live on the patio quite happily. They do not seem to be deciduous as there are always leaves on them.

In Spain, I found a small tree which someone discarded at the nearby basura, brought it into our garden and planted it. After a shaky first year year or so it has finally got he idea and is developing into a nice healthy tree.

Looking forward to some fruit next year.....

The fruit are rather like apricots but much tastier!

i use ours to make nispero crumble. i also peel and halve them, then freeze them in a tub with orange juice. That way, you can have them throughout the year, instead of trying to eat them all in the 2 weeks before the birds get them!

You are just showing off with your links now....

people round here net the trees in early Feb each year so that they can get the fruit before the birds.
