> Loquats

I don't know if loquats would qualify as an exotic fruit, at least not
in CA, where they were not uncommon. As kids, we knew where every
loquat tree in the neighborhood was and it was stripped of all its
juicy fruit a soon as it was edible. In fact, kumquats were more
exotic, to me. About the time I ran across my first kumquat, in the
old Berkeley Co-op, I was in my mid-thirties, married, and picking
loquats off a neighbor's tree I'd just discovered about a block from
our apartment.
