- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- Enjoy fresh fruit from your own patio with this collection of pot-friendly trees, specially selected by our expert growers.
- Includes the 'Bluecrop' blueberry, a dense bush that thrives in pots and produces plenty of berries for your breakfast.
- Features the 'Lord Napier' nectarine, which can be overwintered indoors to protect it from frost and prevent leaf curl.
- Also contains the 'Brown Turkey' fig, celebrated for its easy care, compact size, and exceptionally flavoured fruit.
- Nectarine trees provide beautiful spring blossoms, supporting bees and other essential pollinators.
- Your trees arrive expertly pruned to encourage a strong, healthy shape and robust growth.
- Soil: Fruit trees prefer well-drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting to improve drainage. 'Bluecrop' blueberries thrive in slightly acidic soil.
- Watering: Water at the base of the plant to avoid leaf moisture and prevent soil from splashing onto the leaves. This is especially important for nectarines to protect flowers and improve yield.
- Pruning: Prune annually each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease. Your trees are pruned before shipping, which may include trimming the main leader to encourage a well-shaped tree.
- Pollination: 'Lord Napier' nectarine and 'Brown Turkey' fig are self-fertile and do not need pollination partners.
- Pest & Disease: These varieties have good pest and disease resistance. To ensure good health, provide good air circulation, space plants properly, and remove weeds. Potted nectarines can be moved indoors for winter to prevent peach leaf curl.
- Hardiness: All these trees are fully hardy in the UK climate. Potted plants have less root protection and may benefit from being moved to a sheltered spot or having their pots wrapped in fleece during harsh frosts.
