The Summer Harvest Update (v1.11.0) introduced a new Divine-tier crop into Grow a Garden: the Loquat. Known for its bright golden seeds and multi-harvest potential, this fruit is already gaining attention among collectors and competitive growers alike. If you're aiming to add the Loquat to your garden, this guide will cover its appearance, uses, and all the ways you can obtain its seeds in Grow a Garden.

 

What is the Loquat

 

The Loquat is classified as a Divine crop, a rarity tier that places it among the most valuable plants in the game. Unlike standard crops, the Loquat can be harvested multiple times, making it highly rewarding for long-term gardeners. Its design also makes it stand out:

 

Produce Appearance: The fruit looks like two yellow berries joined at the base by a short brown stem. The subtle shading at the bottom gives it a realistic touch, resembling a golden-hued cranberry.

 

Crop Features: The Loquat plant grows from a thick brown trunk, branching into three sturdy limbs facing north, west, and east. Each branch sprouts clusters of green leaves arranged in a plus-sign pattern, with leaf size diminishing at the ends.

 

Seed Design: Loquat seeds gleam in gold, making them one of the most striking seeds among all Grow a Garden Items.

 

Interestingly, when the Loquat undergoes the Moonlit Mutation, its appearance shifts closer to that of the Celestiberry, giving seasoned growers an extra reason to experiment with mutations.

 

How to Obtain Loquat Seeds

 

In earlier builds, Loquat seeds were exclusively available through the Seed Shop, but with update changes, the acquisition methods have expanded. Here's a breakdown of how you can get them now:

 

1. Summer Merchant (Current Primary Source)

 

The Loquat seed has a 0.75% chance (1 in 133) to appear in the Summer Merchant's inventory. If it's in stock, you can purchase it for:

 

900,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 629 Robux

 

The high cost in both in-game currency and premium currency makes this seed a serious investment, but its Divine-tier status justifies the price.

 

2. Lucky Harvests

 

Occasionally, a successful harvest of other crops may reward you with a Loquat seed as a bonus. While the odds are slim, it's a fun surprise that can happen during regular gardening.

 

3. Stolen by a Red Fox

 

Red Foxes roaming your garden can sometimes snatch a Loquat fruit or seed. While it may feel frustrating to lose a crop, if you manage to intercept or chase down the fox, you may reclaim the stolen Loquat seed.

 

4. Snail Yields

 

Snails are often overlooked in Grow a Garden, but harvesting them has a chance of producing a Loquat seed. It's not the most reliable method, yet it gives resourceful players a low-cost way to try their luck.

 

5. Digging Dogs

 

Pets like the Shiba Inu or Golden Lab occasionally dig up rare treasures. With a bit of luck, one of these helpful companions can unearth a Loquat seed during their explorations.

 

Farming Tips for Loquat Success

 

Getting your first Loquat seed is just the beginning. To maximize its value:

 

Save Up Currency: Because the seed costs a hefty 900,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles at the Summer Merchant, prioritize farming other crops or selling surplus items to build up your reserves.

 

Use Pets Wisely: Assign your Shiba Inu or Golden Lab to dig regularly, as they may occasionally surprise you with a rare Loquat seed.

 

Protect Your Crops: Red Foxes are notorious for stealing valuable fruits. Consider building defenses around your Divine-tier plants to minimize losses.

 

Experiment with Mutations: If you're aiming for the Moonlit variant, dedicate part of your garden to mutation-friendly conditions. Even if you don't succeed right away, the extra harvests from the Loquat make it less punishing to experiment.

 

Trade with Players: If you manage to get extra seeds, selling or trading them can be more profitable than growing them all yourself. Divine seeds are one of the best ways to accumulate large amounts of Grow a Garden Sheckles quickly.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Securing a Loquat in Grow a Garden requires persistence, patience, and resources. While its 0.75% appearance rate at the Summer Merchant may test your luck, other avenues like Lucky Harvests, pet digging, and even Red Fox encounters give you alternative chances.

 

Once planted, the Loquat's multiple yields, mutation potential, and high market value ensure it's one of the most rewarding Divine crops available. For serious gardeners looking to expand their collection of Grow a Garden Items and strengthen their currency reserves with Grow a Garden Sheckles, the Loquat should be at the top of your list.
