Sarah starts with ... I'd like to plant 2 peaches and 2 nectarines one each yellow and white flesh and not sure of harvest times. Of course I'd like to span the season as long as possible (ie early and late harvest if poss) oh . . . and they need to be low chill. Can anyone please offer some advice on varieties I should be looking at?

Kath says... Get hold of a Daley's catalogue-free-see link on left, find the chill factor for your area from the local ag dept & away you go. I did this last year & espaliered my trees & they are now loaded-can't believe how well they've done in less than 18 months. A little bit of research re chill factor & maturing times is well worth it-good luck. | About the Author KathK Karnup W.A. 27th September 2010 1:08pm #UserID: 1744 Posts: 187 View All KathK's Edible Fruit Trees |

Sarah says... Kath - I'm actually planning to espalier mine as well - so it's good to hear you're already getting great results. I've actually been reading a book by Allen Gilbert and he recommends a fan, V or candelabra form for peaches and nectarines due to the fact that they flower on new growth - which I can't say I'm thrilled about - being a newby I thought the simple structure of multi tier or T would be easier to maintain in shape - anyway would be interested to know your thoughts! | About the Author 28th September 2010 10:55am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
