Dwarf Nectarine - Sunset Backyard Beauty

Nectarine - Sunwright (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Wonderful blossom. Is supposed to be hardy to WA.  It has attempted to set fruit quickly. I have removed all fruit as plants are young and need to establish roots rather than fruit

flowers and leaves emerged in July - I've left the fruit on as the tree is growing rapidly ... it is a prolific cropper and at 1.5m and 12 months in the ground I'd estimate there are over 80 fruit per plant after thinning! Unfortunately the fruit-fly struck so I had to collect all the fruit and pack it tightly into a bucket and 'drown' the fruit fly for a month before the muck was composted (fruit fly can be drowned when the fruit is underwater for over a week and the top of the water covered with a layer of vegetable oil to stop oxygen getting in).

These guys really struggled with the 2011 summer and lost most of their leaves. I'm hoping that autumn comes soon so they can recover.

Plants recovered in autumn and required substantial pruning. Leaves were removed in June 2011 to encourage dormancy

Jan 2012 - once again fruit fly were about earlier than expected so the entire crop (sans one bag) was picked and treated to prevent re-infection. Delicious crop ... but nectarines are not suited to Perth as they are too susceptiable to fruit fly. The destruction methods and spraying has prevented fruit fly being observed anywhere else - but I fear untended trees in the district are breeding zones for this pest.

May 2012 - leaves removed by hand, heavy pruning. This may reduce fruit, but hopefully will improve shape and relieve some stress (as the plants were very prone to disease over summer and leaves were quite pale)

leaf curl was initially a problem. I removed all the affected leaves by hand and also removed all the healthy leaves in winter (July). The plants ahve been pruned so that no branches or leaves are within 1m of the ground so the fungus shouldn

spores will be in cracks in the bark and also the soil. Reinfestation likely without autumn sprays and/or pre bud burst spray. since you have many trees that can be affected, I'd recommend you spray rather than suffer major outbreak

From reviews, this one sounds like a tasty yellow-fleshed nectarine that will complement the harvest period of the Sunwright that I already have (and will fruit in Perth).

Nectarine - dwarf (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: -

Still no action here. Plants really thriving though. They handle the wind and heat beautifully - I am so surprised. Dwarf trees are jsut so much easier in a windy climate.

Aug 2010: flowering now...this may well be their last goodbye..and then off to friends in Perth....

Nov 2010: Finally! fruit at last! Not ready yet.

nectarine nectazee

Comments

How long have you had the nectazee before it died ?

Was in its second year, I planted it in the ground and I think it got some sort of disease. All the branches became dry and brittle.
