Why do loquats bloom in winter?

There are two factors that affect the flowering of loquat in winter. One is latitude and the other is sunshine condition.

Plants that bloom in spring usually need long sunshine conditions, while plants that bloom in autumn usually need short sunshine conditions. At different latitudes of the earth, the conditions of long days and short days are different. ?

At low latitudes, there are only short-term sunshine conditions. Between the northern and southern tropical regions, only short-day plants are distributed; In mid-latitude areas, sunshine conditions are long in spring and short in autumn, so there are long-day plants and short-day plants.

In high latitudes, long and short sunshine conditions can be obtained, but under short sunshine conditions, the temperature is extremely low, which is not suitable for plant growth, and only long-day plants can be configured. The latitude and sunshine conditions of loquat determine that it blooms in autumn.
