nectarine

Comments: -

Tree is nearly 4 yrs old.  Growing and fruiting beautifully.  Planted on mound and mulched (not too close to trunk).  

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pest Control:

Copper spray before leaves appear in late winter.  Fruit fly splash or spray if required.  Monitor with traps.

Question:

Even though tree is looking healthy and fruit is growing well the trunk has started oozing silicone looking gum.  There was no apparent damage to trunk.  Does anybody have any ideas what this could be?

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.

Delicious fruit. Maximum of 8 fruit per season so far but has been in a pot for four years and has been a little neglected.  Finally put into the ground and we will buy two more to plant next to it so they can be easily netted if required.

Nectarine - Flavortop (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: - Good tasting fruit, although not much due to tree being significantly affected by leaf curl when bought from Sydney nursery. Now using spray to control this problem at time of bud burst, and it seems to be working. Almost no leaves affected by leaf gall in 2013. However, sprayed too late in 2014 and so the tree was very badly affected by leaf gall and got no fruit. But in 2015 all the leaves were badly affected by leaf curl in spite of fungicide spray at budburst. So not very happy with this tree. Again no edible fruit in 2016. So have removed this tree.
