Flavortop nectarine tree
I purchased this tree 2 years ago, I had a nectarine last year, I watered it every day thru the drought, a slow grower but it is all bloomed up and I can't wait to see what it produces this year, I put 10 10 10 fertilizer on it twice a year, looks healthy, very sweet to taste

Came packaged well, had to put in pots because we were still getting freezing weather. Planted as soon as we could and it's doing well.

I read a lot of negative reviews and I've come to the conclusion that not everyone has a green thumb after filtering thru the comments y'all that failed did so much wrong.
