Nectarine
This is my first try with a Nectarine tree. It survived the Utah winter and this first year was loaded with tiny fruits. I thinned them out to just 4 or 5. I want the strength to go into the growth of the tree. Very pleased with the sense of plenty that this tiny tree has given.

Nectacrest are the Best
Planted this one with my grandson Ben, to replace a 20 year old Nectacrest purchased from Miller Nursuries. Last year, after its first year in the ground, it was covered with blossoms and set about 3 dozen nectarines. We thinned it down to a dozen and then to 6 which developed well. Ben was excited to pick and eat the first, then second, etc. This year, we had a warm spell in January which caused bud development followed by below zero weather for an extended. Lost all peaches and nectarines, oh well, Looking forward to normal winters and many more years of great fruit though. Scott, CT
