It
looks like spring is on its way – there is some blossom starting to appear,
caterpillars are appearing and the birds are chasing each other and whistling
happily. I think they’re in lo-o-o-ve.
These
photos are of my newly planted dwarf ‘Sunset’ nectarine which has just bloomed.
It’s eventual height is around 1 – 1.5 metres according to the breeder’s website. This is just a baby.
The
beauty of this variety is that it’s very low chill - the breeder says it can be
grown in Sydney and Queensland, and it’s an early fruiting variety (November in
warmer areas) which extends the availability of backyard fruit by months. Yum!
New
growth is a burgundy-red colour which gradually changes to green.
