PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
Coppertone Loquat is a great choice for larger, higher areas and can be used as a great backdrop for more medium ranged shrubs. They can be trained into tree form and seem to take trimming to more manageable heights very well. Coppertone is a cultivar of Japanese Loquat, also more as a small tree around Houston. Coppertone has a denser foliage and doesn't produce fruit which makes it lower maintenance.
