Position – Full sunlight helps to prevent the tree from contracting diseases. The sunshine also helps with producing sweet, delicious fruits. Give it about 6 metres’ space to allow it to grow without being hindered. Use companion plants like legumes because these attract the right pollinators and help to keep the soil fertile.
Size – This tree reaches a mature height of between 2 and 5 metres and its canopy has a width 4 metres.
Soil Type – Soils that are well-draining, but still manage to retain some moisture are best for nectarine trees. The only soils that do not work well are very dense or heavy ones. A slightly acidic pH of between 6.0 and 7.0 is best for fruit trees.
