Walking the streets of Athens(XI).The Loquat tree. Περπατώντας στους δρόμους της Αθήνας(XI).Η μουσμουλιά.

Very few fruit producing trees are blooming at this time of the year. But the Loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica) is blooming at this time of the year, so it will be the first to have fresh fruit in spring. It is a tree very common in Greece and many and you can see it in many gardens in Athens.
Λίγα δένδρα ανθίζουν αυτήν την εποχή. Αλλά η μουσμουλιά(Eriobotrya japonica) ανθίζει τώρα τον χειμώνα για να είναι το πρώτο δένδρο που θα μας προσφέρει τους καρπούς του την άνοιξη.
