Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for loquat fruit. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Loquats bruise and scratch easily and the damaged areas turn brown or black, so handle gently and keep them cold. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
