We have now been in our house for 7 years and this is the first year that our nectarine tree has fruited! Granted it does not have a huge amount of fruit (8 total!) but wow! It must be because it has been so warm this year early on.
They taste ok too! The plums are not that great this year though, two of our trees have no fruit at all. However, last year they were so heavy with fruit that one of the branches actually broke off! I think I have heard somewhere that every other year they are supposed to be good. The crab apple tree which is right next to the nectarines has loads of fruit as always but has some kind of disease....
Quite a lot of the branches are dying at the ends....I think I may have to do a drastic cut in the next couple of weeks and see how it fares next year before deciding if it is too old or anything.
