Fruit - Peaches and Nectarines

Introduction

Anyone who has tasted a peach or nectarine from a home garden will know that there is no comparison between home-grown peaches and nectarines and what is for sale in the super markets. Add to that the fact that there are many dwarf peaches and nectarine varieties for sale that can be grown in small spaces or pots, and you have a very compelling case for a peach or nectarine tree in every garden.

This is a blog post in the Fruit-series by Max and Max. It covers buying, planting, pruning, grafting and pest control of peach and nectarine trees, and harvesting and storing of their fruit. Thank you, Max, for your expert-feedback and valuable contributions to this blog post!
