Mark;

Observing Ugni molinae in the arboretum may not be useful; most of the
arboretum is not in the most favored microclimate for marginally hardy fruit
in Seattle.
The late Prof. Angelo Pellegrini (author of *The Food Lover's Garden*-
highly recommended) was able to get loquats to ripen on a south slope over
the sound in Seattle; this has only occured once since WWII in Portland OR.
