#ProPlantTips for Care:

Nectarines are deciduous trees that need full sun for the most flowers and therefore, the most fruit. Plant in a well-drained location with ample moisture access and in a mulched bed for insulation and water retention. Prune when dormant to open the canopy and improve air circulation, and control the size.
