Nectarine Flavourzee - Bare-Rooted

Nectarine Flavourzee is a dwarf variety that is perfect for those with limited space but who wish to enjoy the pleasures of home-grown fruit. Renowned for its pretty pink blossoms in spring, this dwarf nectarine produces mid-season fruit with a yellow-red blush and yellow, juicy flesh that boasts excellent eating quality. The fruit matures around February, making it a delightful addition to the winter garden.

Flavourzee maintains a compact, bushy habit, reaching a mature height of about 2m, which aligns perfectly with its suitability for container and courtyard planting. Although it is self-fertile, the presence of another nectarine or peach nearby can enhance fruit production through cross-pollination. This nectarine thrives in sunny, well-drained locations and is particularly well-suited to warmer areas. It is deciduous, shedding its leaves annually, and features a medium growth rate, reaching about 1.75m in full maturity and 2m after five years. Ideal for large containers, Flavourzee is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to maximize their space without sacrificing the quality and enjoyment of fresh, flavourful nectarines.

What is a bare-rooted tree?

Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport. 

What are the benefits? 

• Less packaging and plastic waste involved in growing process and transportation. 
• Plant has more root mass as the roots have not been constricted and twisted by a pot.
• They are easier to carry and plant as they are extremely lightweight.
• Bare-rooted trees are cheaper as they do not come with soil and pots. 
• Planting bare-rooted trees in the winter follows the natural pattern of the seasons.
