Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

A delightful Dutch nectarine variety, cultivated for nearly 100 years.
Forms a stunning centerpiece with elegant leaves and charming pink spring blossoms.
Produces vibrant red, juicy nectarines that are incredibly sweet and refreshingly delicious.
Excellent frost tolerance makes it a dependable choice for fruiting, even in colder UK regions.
Harvest in August to enjoy fresh, or try them sliced and grilled in a salad with burrata.
Self-pollinating, ensuring a plentiful harvest without needing a partner tree.

Species: Nectarine (Peach)
Flowering Time: March - April
Harvest Time: August
Sunlight: Full sun
Best for: Pots & Patios
Eventual Spread: 1m
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.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good 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 Type: Prefers well-drained, loamy soils. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but may not fruit well in poorly draining soil.
Tasting Notes: Fresh, juicy and one of the sweetest Nectarines you'll ever taste.
Uses: Eating, Making Jams

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, water only when needed in dry spells (leaves will start to wilt). It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require regular feeding.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: Patio Tree in 4.5L Pot
Height on Arrival: 60-90cm (including pot)
Eventual Height: 3m
Rootstock: Montclare. This rootstock limits the tree's height, making it perfect for smaller spaces. It can be kept smaller by pruning or by restricting the roots in a pot.
Time to First Crop: You may see your first nectarines after 2 years, with substantial crops developing 2-3 years after that.
