Acheté en 2022, belle qualité de greffe, et racines fournies. Le nectarinier redémarre au printemps 2023, puis sèche, sans compréhension. J'envoie des photos au SAV, qui me renvoie un nectarinier identique en décembre 2023. J'espère qu'il ne sèchera pas au printemps 2024. Mais en tout cas, excellent SAV.

Value-for-money
This self-fertile variety, moderately vigorous, produces beautiful flat nectarines from late August, with a shiny red skin. Its delicious fruit, with yellow, juicy and sweet flesh, is easy to consume with a stone that detaches well from the pulp. Low in calories, energising, refreshing and hydrating, the flat nectarine is pleasant to bite into.

Description

The Organic Yellow Flesh Flat Nectarine is an original variety. Its colourful and flattened fruits are refreshing and low in calories. In late summer, you can enjoy them every day. It produces a medium-sized nectarine, measuring 7 to 9 centimetres (3 to 4 inches) in diameter, weighing 110 to 150 grams, with a round shape and a very distinct flatness at both ends. The skin is fairly thin, smooth, and shiny, with dark red colouration on a yellow-orange background. The yellow flesh is fine and filled with sweet and fragrant juice, surrounding a stone that separates easily from the pulp. After a striking flowering in March, the fruit ripens in August-September. Like the peach, its close relative, the nectarine is susceptible to peach leaf curl and spring frosts, preferring a warm, well-ventilated, sunny, and sheltered location. Slightly less hardy than the peach, it is a small tree with a short lifespan, lasting no more than 15 to 20 years.

The Prunus persica (Common Peach) is a fruit tree belonging to the Rosaceae family, originally from China in the Sichuan and Guizhou regions around 500 BC. It appeared in Europe in the 6th century and experienced significant development in the 19th century. From there, numerous selections aiming to improve the fruit's taste took place. The Nectarine, scientifically known as Prunus persica nucipersa, originated from a natural mutation of the peach that occurred in the 16th century. In France, the difference between nectarines and flat peaches is determined by the adhesion of the stone to the flesh. If the flesh separates easily from the stone, it is a nectarine; otherwise, it is a flat peach.

The Yellow Flesh Flat Nectarine variety forms a small tree with a fairly upright structure and a spreading habit, reaching approximately 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 feet) in height and 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 feet) in diameter when fully grown. Its habit is well-suited for low forms (bushes) or trained forms. Its foliage consists of lanceolate leaves measuring 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) long and 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) wide, with serrated and wavy edges, a vibrant green colour, turning yellow-orange in autumn before falling. The leaves have a slight almond fragrance. In late March, pale pink flowers, measuring 2 to 3 cm (1in) in diameter, appear solitarily, before the leaves on the previous year's branches. They can be destroyed by frost from -2 to -3°C. It is a fairly hardy tree, tolerating temperatures down to -15°C, and can be grown in all temperate regions, with a preference for the southern half of continental Europe. Its spring flowering, which is quite early, can be damaged by late frosts. This necessitates placing the tree, if grown in northern regions, in a particularly sunny and sheltered location. It has a remarkably decorative spring flowering, which is highly attractive to bees and butterflies. A self-fertile variety, not requiring other peach trees nearby for pollination, but the presence of another nectarine tree will improve fertility.  To obtain beautiful nectarines, it is possible to remove some fruits as soon as they appear.

This variety, being self-fertile, produces a harvest that can be more or less abundant depending on the year. It begins fruiting quite quickly, around 3 to 5 years, with optimal production reached after 5 to 7 years. The fruits are harvested from mid-August to mid-September, as they ripen. As nectarines are fragile, they are harvested by hand with care. Low in calories, they are rich in antioxidants, beta-carotene, and potassium. Additionally, their high content of vitamins C, E, and B3, along with their richness of dietary fibre, makes nectarines a healthy choice. They are invigorating, energising, and hydrating. Nectarines picked slightly unripe will continue to ripen in the house and can be stored for a week in a cool, dark place.

The delicious fruits can be eaten fresh as soon as they are picked. They are also ideal for making compotes, smoothies, ice creams and sorbets, tarts, clafoutis, pastries, fruit salads or preserves, as accompaniments to savoury dishes with meats (duck, rabbit, chicken, etc.) or fish (salmon, cod, etc.). They are also perfect for making juice or fruit syrups. With its high water content, nectarines are refreshing and thirst-quenching. Being very fleshy, they provide a great feeling of satiety.

Like many fruit trees, nectarine trees prefer rich, deep, and well-drained soils. They do not tolerate excess water, heavy and compacted soils, or limestone soils. They prefer a sunny location, sheltered from drafts and cold winds. A southeast or southwest exposure is ideal. In regions that frequently experience late spring frosts, they can be trained against a south-facing wall. Very popular due to their fruits, nectarine trees find their place in the garden for the enjoyment of both young and old. With a wide range of varieties, it is easy to find the one that best suits your preferences.

Planting and care

The Flat Yellow Flesh Nectarine is planted in full sun, sheltered from drafts and cold winds. A southeast or southwest exposure is ideal. If you don't live in the south of Europe, the nectarine can be trained against a south-facing wall. In regions that frequently experience late spring frosts, it will be more difficult, if not impossible, to fruit a nectarine tree.

It requires ordinary soil in a rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The nectarine tree fears heavy and waterlogged soils, as well as limestone soils.

The planting period depends on the form of the nectarine tree. Thus, a bare-root nectarine tree should be planted from October to March, traditionally for Saint Catherine's Day, excluding periods of frost. A bare-root fruit tree should be planted immediately after purchase, as the roots should not be exposed to sunlight and open air. If you cannot plant it immediately, put it in a temporary location while waiting.

When purchased in a container, the nectarine tree can be planted in autumn, from October to December, again excluding periods of frost or even in spring.

Dig a hole at least 60 cm (24in) deep and 1 metre (3 feet) wide, at least one week before planting. Remove all stones and weeds. Place the container in a basin of water to moisten the root ball through capillary action. Add two handfuls of crushed horn at the bottom of the hole. Mix the extracted soil with well-rotted compost, well-decomposed manure, or potting soil. Fill the hole halfway with the extracted soil. Plant a stake at least 50 cm (20in) deep. Place the nectarine tree in the hole. Fill with the remaining soil. Gently firm the soil around the nectarine tree and secure it to the stake. Form a basin and water abundantly.

Proceed in the same way if you plant a bare-root nectarine tree. But don't forget to prune and dress the bare roots before planting.

Care

Pruning instructions In the following spring after planting, a first pruning for training will be welcome. Only keep the branches that will form the framework of the tree (about 5 branches). Then an annual pruning allows for the renewal of the wood, which is essential for fruiting. To limit errors, it is preferable to prune in February or March during the bud burst period to differentiate between wood buds and flower buds. Sterile wood branches should be cut above the second bud to redistribute the sap. This way, a new branch will grow. For mixed branches that produce both types of buds, it is necessary to prune to keep the two buds near the base of the branch, and three or four flower buds and one wood bud above. Some also practice green pruning after fruiting and leaf fall. This involves cutting the tips of the branches. These prunings should always be done with sharp and disinfected secateurs or pruning shears. To limit the occurrence of diseases, it is also recommended to apply a healing sealant on the cuts.
