You are so lyrical - I smell, I taste and I even try to speak the French words as they should be, and I remember my dear friend and researcher, the late Monsieur Brian (he was a passionate gourmande) who was my link with 12th century Lyon. Thank you...

I live in Southern California and the yellow fruit you discovered in France is called loquats here.

Oh so interesting! I’ve also ready they have two varieties, one to be eaten in spring then another after the frost. Is that the case with you?

Our climate in San DIego is very mild, we don't get frost. The only variety I'm familiar with is the spring one. Here's an article from our county newspaper. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/latino-coverage/story/2021-06-08/loquats-southern-california-nisperos-misbeliefs-nor-ashkhar
