Description:
Nectarines are smooth skinned peaches and are grown like a peach, in a location with sloping well drained land, to permit prime air flow. They prefer a light slightly sandy well drained soil that permits deep root formation, but will adapt to many different soil types. Heavy clay soils with poor drainage or soils with hard subsoil will cause short-lived trees. Also, try to avoid planting in the same location in which a tree has just been removed. This may cause poor growth of the new tree. Most nectarines are grown on seedling stock, but some are grown as grafts.
