Nectarine - Sunraycer (Grafted)

Comments: -

Home to the Wild May fruit fly trap. Attracts lots of honey bees and native sugarbag bees.  Beautiful pink spring blossom.  Fruits prolifically - I need to thin the fruit.  Although this will all be enjoyed by the stunning king parrots.  2010 I an trying mesh bags to protect the fruit from fruit fly and the birds.  Meanwhile the gorgeous King Parrots eat all the unbagged fruit - very green.

So far the mesh bags are working well, although the birds have been pecking at the plums, the nectarines are close to picking.

November 17th - I have just picked the best nectarine I have ever grown.

Flowers a little ordinary. Fruit needs agressive thinning, but well worth the wait.

great tree. got about 8 large fruit last year. had problems with fruit fly in garden  last year but these didnt.  very sweet fruit. hardy tree,requires little care in my exp. one thing is they must be pruned to establish a good structure. they are quick growing and will establish many thick leading branches in growth spurts. this will create a poor structure and large wounds when the lazy gardener gets around to trying to correct the trees growth. even though peaches and nectarine trees need pruning for fruit, you must establish an even frame  such as goblet, or central leader type.

Nectarines are one of my favourite fruits and

I have grown them in another places. I have enjoyed the ability to be able to just pluck one off the tree and eat it out of the hand and I am looking forward to being able to doing the same with this tree.
June 2016. This past season has also been a disappointment this tree. I shall have to apply the same thinning principle as with the Peachtree.
