Yea, it does look like it wants to flower. I just got it planted yesterday. There are lots of healthy roots too. This is a real premium tree. Not like anything from any of the nurseries around here. If I get a chance I will post a picture of the tree I purchased from Lowes for $ 23.99. Totally pathetic compared to the beautiful tree I got from Shamus. By the way. I got a call from Shamus this morning. He wanted to make sure that I was happy with my purchase and gave some good advice on Loquat culture. I'm glad he did because his trees look amazing and his advice differs a bit from most of the online literature. Not sure if he does a follow up call with everyone. But my wife picked up the tree without me. He told her what to do and she forgot most of it and the rest was like âÂÂI think he said.âÂÂ. So IâÂÂm glad he took the time to make the call and spend some time with me. A real nice guy. Now I know where to go for tropicalâÂÂs and semitropicals. Nice big healthy trees and plants at great prices with top notch customer service. You canâÂÂt ask for better than that.

You're welcome. I should have mentioned that I considered them for my kitchen. (Thanks to Mtnrdredux who showed me pics of them in her lovely kitchen.) I really like the style, but needed some 8" pulls for some wide drawer stacks. The Hafele is limited to one size. I think about 5.5"??? While they didn't work out for the kitchen, we did install them on some built-ins in the MBR. They are of nice quality, though I'd have to say not as well made overall as the RH pulls I chose for the kitchen. The exposed screws are decorative only; they attach from the back like most pulls do.

Your pulls look like window sash lifts so I looked in Van Dykes and sure enough there they are for $6.29. (AR-203799)They don't have Polished Nickel though. But maybe if you googled sash lifts you could find them elsewhere. Van Dyke's is a great source for all kinds of weird "old house" kind of stuff. I just ordered polished nickel caps for the bottom of some furniture legs. Here is a link that might be useful: van dykes restorers

Thanks! With the Atlas, the arch isn't quite right, but I love the one listed as "mid-century modern". The manufacturer doesn't specifically call it an appliance pull though and it's much cheaper than the so-called appliance pulls so I'm not sure it'll satisfy my cabinet guy... I can't find any chrome appliance pulls from Amerock and only one from Hickory--the American Diner. It's a little too fancy, which is funny since I'm sort of going diner with hardware! Lookslike a roof rack. Thanks for the links. They should help. Am I gonna have to take my handles to a body shop to get chromed like an old bumper? :)
