This is a great variety; self-fertile and highly productive. Nectarines are ready for picking in August. Smooth, dark red/yellow skin. Juicy and sweet. <br> <br> Grown on St Julien A rootstock, supplied as a feathered maiden. <br> <br> To get the best results in the U.K, we recommend that you train peach and nectarine trees as a fan against a south/south-west facing wall or fence, and do not try to grow as a free standing trees. Peaches and nectarines should also be covered with a glass or polythene framework over the winter to protect them from the waterborne peach leaf curl virus. The ideal place to grow your peach or nectarine tree is in a polytunnel or glass house!
