Hello,
My name is Pete, I live in Downey Ca and have a huge loquat tree. The loquat tree grows to about 15-20 feet tall and has a very large harvest twice a year. The zone for this amazing tree is 7-10

Wine making is a recent hobby I'm trying out. I noticed people making wine from loquats, so I'm planning to make 5 gallons next week (loquats getting ripe).
Ive started picking the fruit and freezing it. Now I'm left with a pile of seeds. Anyone want seeds? i don't mind shipping, if you cover postage.I have a couple hundred seeds and prefer to give them away. The seeds grow into small trees quickly. Ive noticed my neighbors house has some little trees already growing, due to my daughters seed throwing ability. hit me up

Very generous! I planted several Loquat seeds last year and now have given away a couple dozen trees a couple of feet tall. Very fast growing and great fruit! I have not made wine from them yet but I will when I get a supply of them.
 
Where I grew up we had a great big loquat tree, I know them well. One of my old chores was raking up the leaves and fallen fruit and pulling out the dozens of new seedlings that grow underneath. Unfortunately I haven't had one since I started making wine. I would take you up on that, but probably every third house on my street has them too, I really ought to get out and dig up a seedling with a head start.
Have you had the wine yet? What's it taste like? I've never thought of them this way, but it sounds very interesting.
