A Personal Note:
Many decades ago, in early June, I recall walking along a country mountain path and plucking wild loquats straight from the tree to eat. They were fresh, tender, and smooth—gliding gently over the tongue. That pure, simple flavor still lingers in my memory. Whenever I see a loquat, it quietly whispers, “Summer is near.”
