Nectarine Trees

Nectarine trees are well worth growing. Nectarine trees are entirely cold hardy so ignore the misconception that Nectarine trees need a warm aspect. Although a Nectarine tree will thrive on a sunny south or west wall, it is perfectly easy to grow your Nectarine tree in the open garden too. You can also grow a Nectarine tree against a sunny south or west wall, in which case you will need a span of approximately 8’ x 6’ high. Nectarine trees also thrive in containers and are naturally fairly compact. An 18” container would be ideal for your Nectarine tree and, if desired it can also be grown in the cold greenhouse or conservatory. A Nectarine tree in a container will grow to around 6’. If you grow your Nectarine tree in the ground, it will mature to around 8’ with pruning.[more...]
