My Edible Fruit Trees: Nectarine Trees

Nectarine - Sunraycer

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!

Spicezee - Nectarine x Plum ^5/10

Comments: -

The first NectaPlum%uFFFD from Zaiger Genetics: a white-fleshed, nectarine-peach-plum hybrid. Skin is dark maroon at fruit set, and turns pale pink when ripe. Fully ripe fruit is unparalled in flavor, and both nectarine and plum traits are easily detectable. Very productive tree is also quite ornamental. Tremendous purplish pink bloom in the spring, followed by a flourish of red leaves which mature into lush green in late summer.

Planted as a DUO with Plum Luisa

Nectarine - Flavortop (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: - Good tasting fruit, although not much due to tree being significantly affected by leaf curl when bought from Sydney nursery. Now using spray to control this problem at time of bud burst, and it seems to be working. Almost no leaves affected by leaf gall in 2013. However, sprayed too late in 2014 and so the tree was very badly affected by leaf gall and got no fruit. But in 2015 all the leaves were badly affected by leaf curl in spite of fungicide spray at budburst. So not very happy with this tree. Again no edible fruit in 2016. So have removed this tree.

   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.

Planted: 2017

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 1

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: Cross Pollination

   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.
