Many farmers like to plant fruit trees, and the most popular fruit trees in rural areas are those that are easy to survive, grow fast, and have few diseases and insect pests. Is there such a fruit tree? The answer is yes, this kind of fruit tree is loquat tree, it is too common in the countryside. Farmers do not care about it, it is free to blossom and bear fruit, after the fruit falls in the soil, it will sprout and grow new loquat trees. Compared with cherries whose fruits are delicious but difficult to plant, loquat trees are very easy to worry about.

Loquat trees blossom early and bear fruit early. Loquat is the earliest fruit on the market in spring. But many people only know that loquat is delicious, but often ignore its leaves, but do not realize that it is more useful than fruit, do you know?

Therefore, loquat leaves can be picked all the year round, but only old farmers know its role. We all know that Loquat-Shaped Cake can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, but the effect is limited.

In many famous expectorant and cough ointments, loquat leaves are used as the main material, supplemented by other medicinal materials. It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "Loquat leaves are mostly used to treat diseases of the lung and stomach." This shows that loquat leaves have a certain curative effect on the diseases of lung and stomach.

Now there are not many people who know the efficacy of loquat leaves, and only some old people in rural areas will pick loquat leaves and boil water to drink. As the loquat leaves are evergreen all the year round, they can be picked at any time. When picking, the loquat leaves of the old tree are more effective.
