Nectarine Tree Prunus 'Flavourtop'

• For best results, be sure to plant against a south, or south-west facing wall or fence of the garden, this is where the most sun can be obtained.
• Plant in deep, fertile soil that is well-drained, but holds moisture well.
• Prepare the tree prior to planting by giving it a good water. 
• When planting against a wall, dig plenty of well-rotted manure or compost into the area, then plant roughly 30cm away from the wall and angle your plant slightly towards it. 
• Water freshly planted nectarine trees regularly across the first year, until fully settled in. 
• Be sure to water throughout the growing season, particularly when the fruits start to emerge. 
• In the middle of spring, mulch the base of the tree with well-rotted manure of compost to avoid the soil from drying out.
• Towards the end of winter, a high potassium fertiliser, like Blood, Fish, and Bone, can be applied to the base.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
