in good condition for 3 to 4 weeks at just above 0 °C [32 °F] and 2 weeks at 10 °C [50 °F] Retail outlets should display the loquat fruit on refrigerated shelfs at 5 to 12 °C (41 to 54 şF). Each stackable produce box will have a minimum net weight of 10 pounds of loosely packed fruit with stems. 
Some boxes may contain field run fruit kept in clusters. Each box will contain an assortment of fruit from various trees and will vary in size, shape, color, and taste. 
Some fruit may be sweeter and others may be more tart or may have a little different taste. Keep in mind that bigger is not always better. Each box may contain various types of cushioning material to absorb some shock or vibration while in transit or in handling. You can have the fruit picked up at Our location by a refrigerated truck. 
To maintain fruit stability, the fruit must be kept at temperatures no less than 33ºF and no warmer than 60ºF. Preferred range is 34ºF to 38ºF Our location will be provided upon request. 
We can place 30 to 42 boxes per pallet which is 300 to 420 pounds of fruit with stems. Provide a Pallet for each 300 to 420 pounds of fruit. 
If you want Us to deliver the fruit to a certain place in Our area for pickup such as Fowler Packing or Sanger Packing, there will be an additional charge of $25 per 300 pounds. $25 minimum charge for deliveries less than 300 lbs. Grocery stores, markets, and retaurants should have the loquat fruit kept in chilled areas to insure quality. We prefer a minimum of five working-days advanced notice for each request. 
We will begin accepting requests for fruit on: April 15 Early orders will be filled when the fruit has turned a golden yellow color, usually during the first part of May depending on the weather. Requests will be filled on a first-come basis. The harvest season usually ends at the end of May or first part of June. Requests received after May 15 may be refused; unless, fruit is still available. In 2017, We started picking and filling some requests on April 24, stopped accepting requests on May 18, and the last picking day was May 30. In 2016, We started picking and filling some requests on April 27 and the last picking day May 31. In 2015, We started filling some requests on May 4 and the last picking day was May 18. Because of the sudden extreme heat and smaller crop, the season was shorter. In 2014, We started filling some special requests on April 21 and 29 and officially started the picking season on Monday, May 5. The official last picking day was May 20. However, some remaining requests were filled Tuesday, May 27, and Wednesday, May 28. Temperatures of 95 to over 100 degrees from May 13 to May 16 accelerated the ripening of the fruit. In 2013, We officially began picking on Monday, May 13. Last picking day was May 22. Any requests or orders for fruit after May 21 were returned or refunded. We had a lot more requests for fruit but the crop was much smaller. In 2012, We began picking on Monday, May 21. Last picking day was June 11. In 2011, We began picking on Monday, May 16. Our last picking day was Monday, June 6. As of June 12, We did not receive any hot weather that was 90ºor hotter. Our last orders went out at end of June. In 2010, We began picking on Monday, May 24. Some fruit were ripe to pick and some were still green or just starting to turn color from green to yellow. California did not have any hot days until the end of May. We normally start picking about a week after We receive some hot weather. Every year is different. This year has been much cooler than other years. We normally pick on a Monday so that you would have the package(s) before the weekend. Once We start picking, the season will last for about three to four weeks. In 2009, picking began on May 4 In 2008, picking began on May 9 Picking season ended June 2. We had a heat wave from May 16 to May 20 with record breaking temperatures of 103 degrees and greater on May 17. In 2007, picking began on May 8 and ended on May 29.
