Planting Advice for Dwarf Nectarine Trees
Our pot grown 'Garden Beauty' dwarf Nectarine trees can be planted at any time of the year, whereas bare root ones need to be planted November-March.
Remove all weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole then dig a square hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 2-3x as wide. To help your tree establish, sprinkle root grow in the hole. Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole. Using 50% of the original soil and 50% compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently, taking care not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree. Add a stake and tie to anchor the tree.
Watering & Aftercare Advice For Patio Nectarine Trees
If you’re planting in spring or summer, water well and regularly for the first few months. If planting in a pot, you will need to continue watering it. Increase watering if there are extended periods of hot or dry weather. If you’re planting in autumn, you may only need to water your tree a little.
Keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons.
