- Highlights
- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- A top choice for UK gardeners, this fabulous heirloom variety performs exceptionally well.
- Enjoy abundant crops of large, juicy nectarines, even in cooler British summers.
- Harvest your delicious fruit in early August, thanks to its early-ripening nature.
- The fruit has an exceptionally soft, melting flesh with a sweet, aromatic flavour.
- Grows to a manageable H3m x W3m on Montclare rootstock, ideal for average-sized gardens or growing in pots.
- Self-fertile, so you don't need a second tree for pollination, ensuring a good crop.
- Your tree will arrive at 18-36 months old and professionally pruned to encourage a strong framework and healthy growth.
- Species: Peach
- Flowering Time: March, April
- Harvest Time: August
- Tasting Notes: Juicy, melting flesh with a sweet, aromatic flavour.
- Uses: Eating, Making Jams
- Position: Full sun
- Hardiness: Hardy. 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.
- Soil: Prefers well drained, loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit too well and will struggle in poorly draining soil.
- Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Shows some resistance to Peach leaf curl, although not full resistance. You may see some damage from aphids and caterpillars, which can be washed away with soapy water. Reduce the risk of bacterial canker by pruning to improve airflow.
- Pollination: Self-fertile. Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit.
- Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
- Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells. When watering, it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages deep root growth.
- Feeding: No feeding is required.
Product Specifications
- Supplied As: Bare Root. Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field. In winter, store for several weeks in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
- Height on Arrival: 120-150cm including roots.
- Eventual Height & Spread: 3m x 3m.
- Rootstock: Montclare. This rootstock limits the tree's height to 3m, perfect for smaller spaces. It can be trained to a smaller size by pruning or by restricting the roots in a pot.
- Time to First Crop: 2 Years. You may see your first nectarines after 2 years but should not expect substantial crops for another 2-3 years after that.
