Fruitscaping™ with Nectarine Trees

Welcome to the delightful world of Fruitscaping™ with our Nectarine Trees. These hardy trees, close relatives of peaches, provide a summer bounty of juicy, sweet, and slightly tart fruits that can be enjoyed fresh or utilized in a variety of culinary delights.

Nectarine trees are known for their vibrant spring blossoms that add a burst of color to any landscape. The blooms give way to smooth-skinned fruits, savored for their succulent texture and superior flavor. Use them fresh, bake them into pies, or preserve them for a taste of summer during the colder months.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Nectarine Trees are robust and moderately easy to grow. Their size can be controlled through proper pruning, making them suitable for various garden spaces.

The Nectarine Tree’s round canopy and glossy green foliage make it a beautiful addition to your Fruitscaping™ design. Consider planting these alongside plums and apricots for a diverse harvest and a garden brimming with colors and fragrances.

Our Nectarine Trees are a fantastic choice for home gardeners seeking a rewarding gardening experience. From planting and care to harvesting your own nectarines, embark on a fruitful journey with Fruitscaping™. Enjoy the sweetness of summer right from your backyard with our Nectarine Trees.

Shipping Information

Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.

The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door:  We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!

Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
