Loquat is native to southeastern China and is named because its leaves resemble the pipa instrument, and its flowers can be used as medicine. The tree is 3-5 meters tall, and the leaves are large and long, thick and downy, long elliptic, and shaped like a pipa. It is also called reed orange, reed branch, golden ball, flame fruit, and scorched seed.
