Enjoy unique 'donut' shaped nectarines with a mellow, sweet taste, perfect for eating fresh from the tree.
Beautiful pink and white blossoms appear in spring, attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden.
Features fragrant, red-skinned fruit with a juicy white interior.
Harvest your delicious, home-grown nectarines from mid-August.
Self-pollinating, meaning you only need one tree to get a reliable and plentiful crop.
Thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot, ideal against a south or west-facing wall.

Species: Peach
Taste: Mellow, sweet and aromatic
Flowering Time: March
Flower Colour: Pink and white blossom in spring
Harvest Time: August
Position: Full sun
Soil Type: Any well drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting, to improve drainage.
Hardiness: H4 - 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.
Habit: An upright tree with a bushy habit
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 2.5-4m unless pruned
Pest & Disease Resistance: Shows some resistance to the main pest 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 removed rotting organic matter nearby.
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking, preserves

Planting Time: January, February, March, November, December
Spacing: Plant 1m apart to allow for spreading
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only water in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt and droop. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking rather than little and often, as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
Feeding: Peach trees get all the nutrients they need from the soil - if yours is poor quality, mix in some compost when planting.
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.

Product Specifications

Supplied As: 120-150cm Bare Root Tree
Height on Arrival: 120-150cm including roots
Rootstock: SJA rootstock. Peach varieties are usually grown by grafting them to rootstocks. This has benefits for pest resistance and genetics, and also limits the height of a tree to a more manageable size. SJA trees tend to only reach 4m tall, perfect for smaller spaces.
Eventual Height: Reaches a height of approx 5m
Time to First Crop: You may see your first Peaches after 2 years but should not expect substantial crops for another 2-3 years after that.
