A guide to choosing the right size
Fruit trees for sale | Nectarine Trees.
Blackmoor Nursery is one of very few Nurseries in the UK offering gardeners the opportunity to buy Nectarine fruit trees direct from our Nursery.
All orders are despatched in one delivery. If your order contains both bare root and container grown plants then we can only despatch when all plants are ready.
Any Bare Root Items - Availability means Available for supply from Nov to May.
Any Container grown items - Availability means Available for supply now.
Bare Root = Field grown Nectarine fruit trees that have been freshly lifted and supplied with no soil around the roots. Only available during the dormant period November-April
10 Litre = Container grown and can be planted all year round. The size refers to the number of litres of compost that the container holds.
1 Year Maiden = A one year old tree and the size depends on the variety but in general they will be 125cm in height and will have some side branches.
2 Year Bush = A two year old tree that has been pruned back in the first winter to form a bush shape. Generally trees will be 140-160cm in height with multiple side branches. This height guide is an end of summer height.
If grown as a fan trained tree against a south facing wall, they will certainly produce a large crop of delicious fruit in many areas. The early spring blossom is also something to be very much admired and enjoyed.
Best grown against a south facing wall or inside a greenhouse. Hand pollination is recommended because of the early flowering season. Protect from winter rain fall to control Peach leaf curl.
situation
The trees prefer a deep fertile soil, that retains moisture in the dryer months, yet remains well drained through winter. Supplied as fruiting size young trees at around 150cms tall.

Collection - If you would like to collect your trees then use this option. Note the collection is from the Wholesale Nursery office between Monday-Friday only. Please allow 1 working days for your order to be processed prior to collection date.
We are not a Garden Centre or retail Nursery. Orders can be placed via our website and the collection option can be selected at the checkout. Your order will then be ready for you to collect during our normal opening hours which are Monday-Friday 07.30-16.30. Our plants are grown in fields that can be 2 miles away from our office so it is not possible to just turn up and select your own trees.
Delivery Charges - The delivery charge is worked out from the weight and the size of the plant. We have several rates that apply to UK mainland addresses. A delivery charge of £9.95 is for all single tree orders. £11.40 if more than one tree except in the case of the Espalier and Fan trained trees where this charge is a maximum of £40.00. Once you have put together your order the delivery charge will show before payment. All orders are despatched in one delivery.

Nectarine Fruit Trees | Award of Garden Merit | Genus Prunus persica var. nectarina | Lord Napier Nectarine Fruit Trees For sale | Buy Online
Nectarine Lord Napier fruit trees - The most popular choice for growing a Nectarine at home. Lord Napier ripens early and the white flesh is aromatic and full of flavour. Lord Napier has received the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Pick early August. Lord Napier is a self fertile Nectarine but like all other Nectarines they do flower very early so hand pollinate the flowers with a soft brush to aid the pollination. Protection from frosts when in blossom is essential. Protect the tree from winter rainfall to control leaf curl.

I come back to Blackmoors time and time again because the fruit stock is second to none; the customer service is excellent; the packaging is sturdy; despatch is swift ie a few days rather than weeks. Again, this Lord Napier I have just received is one fine specimen. Thankyou so much everyone at Blackmoors. I love my tree!
