Description
- The outstanding performance of Lord Napier makes it the most popular nectarine for UK gardeners
- You can expect bundles of large, mouthwateringly juicy nectarines, even in the colder summers
- It ripens particularly early too, which is good for the UK’s somewhat shorter warm period
- Expect to harvest early August
- The flesh is very soft, almost melting and the flavour is sweet and aromatic
- Max size H3m x W3m – Montclare Rootstock Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
- Self fertile – will produce good crops without pollination
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
