Growing loquat from seeds is a rewarding process, as the trees are known for their delicious fruits and attractive foliage. Here's a step-by-step guide to growing loquat seeds:

1. Clean the seeds thoroughly, removing any pulp.

2. Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and promote germination.

3. Fill a pot or seed tray with well-draining seed compost or a mixture of equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.

4. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in the growing medium, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

5. Water the soil until it is evenly moist but not soggy. Place the pot or tray in a warm location with indirect sunlight.

6. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Loquat seeds typically germinate within 1-2 months.

7. Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves, carefully transplant them into individual pots filled with a well-draining potting mix.

8. Gradually acclimatize the young plants to outdoor conditions before planting them in their permanent location once they are large enough (usually after 1-2 years).

9. Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil for planting your loquat tree. Ensure the location has enough space to accommodate the tree's mature size.

10. Water your loquat tree regularly, especially during dry spells, and fertilize it annually with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
