Description
- A truly wonderful nectarine tree, ‘Madame Blanchette’ is (confusingly, given the name) a Dutch variety that’s been around for almost a century.
- This tree is areal feature piece in and of itself, with pretty, delicate foliage and dainty pink, springtime blossoms preceding the appearance of bright red, juicy fruits.
- Although it doesn’t produce the biggest nectarines you’ll ever see, the fruits of ‘Madame Blanchette’ are still sumptuously sweet and fabulously refreshing.
- This variety carries good frost resistance, making it a reliable cropper even in the colder areas of the UK.
- Your nectarines will be ready to harvest in August; eat them fresh or slice, grill and serve in a burrata salad.
- This tree is self-fertile, meaning you’ll get a good crop of fruit without a pollination partner.
