Prunus persica var. nectarina 'Lord Napier'

The most popular nectarine, grown in the UK since 1860.  It is one of the earliest ripening varieties, making it suitable for outdoor cultivation given a warm, sheltered spot. The fruits are large with a dark crimson flush and sweet, juicy, white flesh that melts in your mouth. Heavy cropping.

Bred in the U.K.  RHS Perfect for Pollinators

Pollination: Self-fertile.

Season: early Aug.

As garden fruits, peaches and nectarines have plenty going for them. The spring blossom is beautiful and the fruits picked straight from the tree are deliciously sweet and ‘run down your chin’ juicy. They are best grown as a fan on a sunny south or south-west facing wall, although peaches can also be grown as free standing bushes in favourable areas. When mature, you can expect to harvest 15-30lbs (7-14kg) of fruit from a fan trained tree and twice that amount from a bush tree.

 

Our peaches and nectarines are grown on the new Montclair semi-dwarfing rootstock which will restrict the size of the tree whilst improving yield and fruit size. 

 

  • A bush tree will typically grow to 3.6m (12ft) in height and spread.
  • A fan trained tree will grow to the height of a 1.9m (6ft) fence panel and 3.6m (12ft) wide. If you wish to grow your peach or nectarine tree as a fan, you will need to start off with a one year old tree.

 

Bare root trees are only available when they are fully dormant (usually from late November/December until April).
 
Please note - where we quote a height on despatch, this includes the root system.
 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order.  All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
