Planting & Care

A fabulous heirloom variety, Lord Napier is a top choice for UK gardeners due to its exceptional performance.
Produces an abundance of large, juicy nectarines, even during cooler British summers.
Ripens early in August, making it ideal for the UK's shorter warm seasons.
Features very soft, almost melting flesh with a sweet, aromatic taste.
Reaches a maximum size of H3m x W3m on its Montclare Rootstock, limiting the tree's size for average gardens.
Self-fertile, ensuring you get a good yield without needing a second tree for pollination.
Our trees are 18 to 36 months old and professionally pruned before shipping to encourage a better shape and stronger growth.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and reduces root spiraling.

Species: Peach
Flowering Time: March, April
Harvest Time: August
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Position: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 3m
Hardiness: Hardy
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good Pest and Disease Resistance
Soil Type: Prefers well drained, loamy soils
Pruning: Some structural pruning required
Tasting Notes: Juicy, melting flesh with a sweet, aromatic flavour
Uses: Eating, Making Jams

Hardiness: May require some protection from very late frosts as this can damage the flowers. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the yield of fruit that year.
Pest & Disease: Shows some resistance to the main pests and diseases for Peaches. Has a good resistance to Peach leaf curl, although not full resistance so you should still keep an eye out for it. You may see some damage from aphids and caterpillars, which can both be washed away with soapy water. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow and remove rotting organic matter nearby.
Soil: Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit too well. Will struggle in poorly draining soil.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your Peach Tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
Pollination: This variety is self-fertile and doesn't require pollination to produce fruit. Pollination groups relate to the time of the year when a tree flowers. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other, which helps produce fruit if not self fertile, and can still improve yields even if they are. Trees can usually pollinate a group either side of their own; i.e "2" can Pollinate 1, 2, and 3.
