Eriobotrya deflexa is often called Bronze Loquat. It has shiny bronzy green new foliage with reddish highlights which makes it quite attractive as an ornamental tree. It produces deep-pink showy flowers in the spring and looks best with regular pruning to maintain its shape. It requires regular deep watering to promote healthy growth. It may require regular top-trimming to maintain its height below 25 ft. Eriobotrya deflexa is not a drought tolerant tree.
