Lord Napier Nectarine Tree
Lord Napier (Prunus 'Lord Napier') is an award winning (RHS AGM) 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.
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.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. Corners of houses and fences can also suffer leeching issues so we advise against it.
