A tree well worth growing for its delectable fruit, the Nectarine is also a truly beautiful flowering specimen, with its blossoms bursting into ‘pinkness’ in the early spring. And, being a deciduous tree, it will also produce beautiful autumn foliage after the fruiting is over.
Nectarines like moist, well drained soil in full sun but with some protection from strong wind for the spring blossom. Keep the ground around the base of the trees free of weeds and feed young trees with good quality organic compost.
This is a good specimen to shape into an Espalier.
