NECTARINES - (Back)

Nectarines are smooth skinned peaches and require similar cultural treatment, (Click Here) but they need more frequent watering while the fruit is swelling to avoid splitting.

To prevent peach leaf curl (it only usually occurs out of doors) spray with a liquid copper fungicide at LEAF-FALL, the END of January to MID February. Regular feeding and topping up with lime when needed will help to ward off disease.
