My Edible Fruit Trees: Nectarine Trees QLD

Nectarine - White Satin (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

This has been grafted to a tree as a "double graft" with an Angel peach. Both species do not require a cross-pollinating partner, so this was simply a space-saving way to cram more food types into the yard.

I am so happy with it!

It flowered and "fruited" already technically, but dropped all its fruit as it really is far too young and small to be bearing fruit.

However it did everything perfectly, so maybe this year or next year we will start to see the pay off and its "practice run" kept the local bees happy.

Still in a large grow pot while we work out where to install it!

   Heard about this fruit tree from one of Tom Spellman's excellent YouTube videos for Dave Wilson Nursery. He raves about it, and from what I've read, it's certainly worth raving about. Bought this as a potted tree rather than a bare root tree, and planted it in a garden bed in late October 2017 (Gold Coast). I prepared the bed with compost, chicken poop compost, and Dynamic Lifter, and watered the tree in with a healthy dose of Seasol. The entire bed has a thick layer of cane mulch.

   It has thrived, and at present (Jan 2018) it's about one metre tall. As with all my other trees, it will be pruned regularly so it grows no taller than 150-180cm. It's self-pollinating, but there are plum and nectarine trees nearby to perhaps give it a boost with some cross-pollinating.

   I fertilise with varying ratios and amounts of Dynamic Lifter or Rooster Booster, sulphate of potash, and blood and bone at the beginning of spring, summer and autumn. I also give fortnightly foliar sprays of a diluted solution of Seasol, Powerfeed for flowers and fruit, soluble sulphate of potash, and Epsom salts during the non-dormant months.

   I use a soil moisture meter, and water as necessary.

   If the tree continues at its current growth rate, I'm hoping it will be strong enough and the root structure developed enough that I can leave a few fruit on next season to taste.

   Bought from Daleys. Planted in Sep 2017 (Gold Coast) in a garden bed next to a white satin nectarine tree (on left). These two form a dual planting about 40cm apart under the Dave Wilson Nursery backyard orchard concept. These two share the garden bed with two peach and three apple trees, and three pineapple plants. The bed has a thick layer of cane mulch. At present (Jan 2018) they are one metre tall, and are and will be pruned regularly so they grow no taller than 150-180cm.

   I fertilise with varying ratios and amounts of Dynamic Lifter or Rooster Booster, sulphate of potash and blood and bone at the beginnig of spring, summer and autumn. I also give fortnightly foliar sprays of a diluted solution of Seasol, Powerfeed for flowers and fruit, soluble sulphate of potash, and Epsom salts during the non-dormant months.

   I use a moisture meter, and water the trees as necessary.

   Both trees are very healthy and growing vigorously, and love the amount of sun they're receiving.

Comments: -

great tree. got about 8 large fruit last year. had problems with fruit fly in garden  last year but these didnt.  very sweet fruit. hardy tree,requires little care in my exp. one thing is they must be pruned to establish a good structure. they are quick growing and will establish many thick leading branches in growth spurts. this will create a poor structure and large wounds when the lazy gardener gets around to trying to correct the trees growth. even though peaches and nectarine trees need pruning for fruit, you must establish an even frame  such as goblet, or central leader type.

Nectarine - White Satin

Comments: - WISH LIST I've never been a fan of white nectarines (or peaches) but I have only ever tasted supermarket stock. I'm told home grown is a whole 'nother experience. The description is lovely....

Nectarine - Sunwright

Comments: - WISH LIST I really want some stone fruit in my garden. Dare I make the leap of faith in rotten old muggy Brisbane?

Spicezee - Nectarine x Plum

Comments: - WISH LIST Oh, but I would love to try this. Heard it can out perform a low chill nectarine in my part of Brisbane. Would like a productive stone fruit. But how well does this do in a pot?

Nectarine - Sunraycer (Grafted)

Comments: -

Nectarines are one of my favourite fruits and

I have grown them in another places. I have enjoyed the ability to be able to just pluck one off the tree and eat it out of the hand and I am looking forward to being able to doing the same with this tree.
June 2016. This past season has also been a disappointment this tree. I shall have to apply the same thinning principle as with the Peachtree.

Nectarine - White Satin

Comments: - Superb!  Beautiful in every way, it has a lovely red skin, melting flesh, very sweet, very flavoursome.  The earliest of my stonefruit to ripen, and also the smallest tree.  Would recommend this to anyone with a similar climate to Brisbane.  I gave more water than usual during fruit formation - about 10L bucket of water alternate days.
