Loquat is an important fruit of some parts of Pakistan including Hasan Abdal and Wah. In spite of its importance, no research
work on the description of loquat genotypes of these areas was available. This study was conducted to describe the loquat
genotypes of these areas. Five genotypes of loquat were identified in Hasan Abdal and Wah. Different codes were assigned to
these genotypes as there was no named cultivar. Fruit weight was highest in HW4 (16.20 g), while lowest in HW5 (9.54 g).
Flesh seed ratio was highest in HW2 (2.55) followed by HW4 (2.50) with non significant difference, while lowest in HW5
(1.67). Genotype HW4 was also at the top in terms of fruit yield per plant (50.30 kg) and was followed by HW2 (46.41 kg)
with a significant difference. Lowest yield per plant was observed in HW5 (30.50 kg).
