The Loquat Seed has quickly become one of the most coveted Divine plants in Grow a Garden. Added during the major Summer Update 2025, this multi-harvest tree doesn’t just look good in your garden—it’s also a long-term money maker. But because of its rarity and specific acquisition methods, securing one can be a real challenge.

Main Method: Buying From the Travelling Merchant

The most dependable way to get the Loquat Seed—though definitely the most expensive—is by purchasing it directly from a specific NPC.

1. The Summer Seed Shop Merchant

  • Who to Look For: The Summer Seed Shop Travelling Merchant, one of four rotating vendors that visit the map.
  • When They Appear: A travelling merchant arrives every four hours in real-world time. Because the merchants rotate, you’ll need to wait for—or server hop until—you find the Summer Seed Shop version.
  • Why It's Tricky: The Loquat is a Divine rarity seed, making it one of the rarest and priciest items the merchant offers.
  • Cost: A steep 900,000 Shekels.
  • Pro Tip: Don’t target the Loquat until you've built up serious wealth by farming high-profit plants like Trinity Fruit or Boneboo. You’ll need a big Shekel reserve before taking the plunge.

Alternative (Free) Methods: RNG & Pet Abilities

If spending nearly a million Shekels isn’t your style, there are free ways to get a Loquat Seed—although they rely heavily on RNG.

2. Lucky Harvest Drops (Pure RNG)

Every time you harvest fruit from your trees or multi-harvest plants, there's a tiny chance the game will reward you with a rare drop.

  • Drop Chance: Less than 1%, making it extremely rare.
  • Strategy: Keep your garden full, harvest regularly, and maximize your attempts. The more plants you collect from, the higher your odds of eventually proccing this lucky drop.

3. Pet-Assisted Loquat Finds

Certain pets have special abilities that can occasionally score you a Loquat Seed or fruit.

Red Fox

  • Action: Can steal fruit from another player’s garden
  • Chance: Low
  • Notes: If it steals a Loquat fruit, you can plant or sell it.

Golden Lab / Dog

  • Action: Digs up seeds
  • Chance: Very rare
  • Notes: There’s a slim chance they uncover an actual Loquat Seed in your soil.

Snail

  • Action: Helps harvest seeds
  • Chance: Very rare
  • Notes: While harvesting other seeds, the Snail may rarely produce a Loquat Seed as a bonus.

Loquat Seed Stats

  • Rarity: Divine
  • Harvest Type: Multi-harvest tree
  • Grow Time: Around 4 hours
  • Average Sell Price: ~6,000 Shekels per fruit

Is It Worth It?

While the sale price per fruit is a bit low for something of Divine rarity, the multi-harvest nature of the Loquat means you’ll get several fruits per cycle. Over time, it becomes a strong passive income plant, especially for players building a high-value garden.
