#ProPlantTips for Care

Nectarines need a planting site in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Morning sunlight is best, as it quickly dries off the foliage to keep your trees healthy.

Ensure your planting site has well-drained soil. If you see puddles long after a rainfall, bring in additional soil in a mound 12 to 18 inches tall by 3 feet wide. Plant in that mound, or add a nice border and create a raised bed.

Proper air circulation is also important. Give 10 feet of space away from your home or other structure. It's great to give them a sheltered, frost-free spot, but be sure it's not sitting in an area that "traps" air.

Provide regular water, especially during the first season in your landscape. It will need a consistent schedule of water during fruit development each year. Water is also really important for containerized trees.

Use drip irrigation to make it easier. It's also a good idea to apply a thick layer of mulch over the root system. You'll cut down on surface evaporation and save on water costs.

Provide an all-purpose fertilizer in early spring, or top dress with well-rotted compost. You can apply an Orchard Spray for fruiting trees, as well. Please follow the directions on the label.

While there isn't an extensive need for pruning, you will want to eliminate crossing branches in late winter. The goal is to increase sunlight and air circulation in the canopy. Decide which branch you'll keep and remove the other entirely.

Enjoy the fun Mini Nectar Babe Nectarine in your landscape. Don't be surprised if you and the family start to consider it a "family pet." It is truly easy to love.
