Lord Napier (Prunus 'Lord Napier') is an old English nectarine variety, first introduced in 1860.  One of the earliest and largest of all the nectarines. The skin has a very dark crimson cheek in full sun. Its flesh is very white, melting and very juicy. The flesh separates well from the stone (freestone). (Sawbridgeworth 1860)

Type of Nectarine: Eating

Time of Picking: Early August

Fertility:  Lord Napier is a self-fertile nectarine, therefore only one tree is required for pollination to provide fruit.

Rootstock Available:

This tree is available on a Semi-Vigorous St Julien Rootstock meaning the tree will reach an ultimate height of 3.6 metres.

Lord Napier is supplied in a 12 litre container which means it can be planted at any time of year, not forgetting that regular watering is a pre-requisite especially in dry and warm/hot weather.  Our nectarine trees are grown in the UK so they are well-suited to UK climatic conditions.  

We will include a message card included at no additional cost if required.

Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.

Important Nectarine Fruit Tree information
All our Nectarine trees are delivered in containers offering the advantage of you being able to plant ALL YEAR ROUND. By leaving them in the container or pot outside over winter (October to March) you run the risk of killing them unless you put them in a heated conservatory or greenhouse.

We advise planting as soon as you receive them unless there is a frost.
