Yes, I saw it yesterday at a Target store. I don´t know anything about it.

I have both loquat and Indain hawthorn. Loquat have much larger leaves and are trees while I. H. are small leaved and shrubs here. Loquat fruit are about the size of a plum or smaller and are yellow when ripe while I.H. are small pea sized berries and black.
Hope that helped a bit. Now for a cutting ;-> HA.

Seriously I am interested in what you have. Maybe a pic just to smooth over my curious nature?

Coppertone is a hybrid, probably between R. indica 'Majestic Beauty' and one of the other copperleaved loquats, I am not sure which one. Photinia doesn't come into this picture.

I think if you do some research, you will find that intergeneric crosses are all over the place in agriculture and ornamental horticulture.

i just bought one two months ago-not because i was looking for one but because of its fragrance. the whole nursery stunk of this plant. i brought it home and put it in the backyard and could smell it from the street.this one plant, about 2 1/2 ft tall easily out stinks the four gardinias i have and the jasmine. i live in manteca, ca. the flowers lasted about 2-3 weeks-no fruits-bees and bugs love it. i have lilacs, jasmines, gardinias, and other smelly plants/trees but this is the one i cant wait for to bloom again. i haven't found anything on the net about how good this smells so here it is- this plant is extremely fragrant

Last summer, I bought one on Craig's list from someone who did not want it, and I'm wondering if it bears any fruit in Zone 8B. It had lots of flowers in the spring then we had the late freeze and no fruit showed up this year.
