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 Self-Fertile/Not Self-Fertile: Lord Napier is a self-fertile nectarine, therefore only one tree is required for pollination 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.
