About Nectarine
Nectarines are fuzz-free peaches — a self-fertile stone fruit that rewards you with sweet fruit on a beautiful small tree, but needs careful pruning and frost protection.
Plant a bare-root tree in a sunny, well-drained spot. Prune annually for an open center. Thin fruit for size. Most grafted trees bear within 2-3 years.
Gardening in Utah
Utah has an arid continental climate. Salt Lake City is Zone 6b-7a; southern Utah is Zone 7-8; mountains are Zone 4-5. Low humidity and alkaline soils require irrigation and soil amendment.
