Bare Root Humboldt Nectarine Tree
The Humboldt Nectarine tree was raised from a Pineapple Nectarine seedling and has Orange juicy, flesh just like most of the youth of today in our night clubs. We can assure you that we do not fake tan any of our Humbolt Nectarine trees (we have to clarify as we do get asked!)
The Humboldt flowers freely giving your garden an extra visual aspect around Spring time and is considered a reliable cropper for a Nectarine tree.
If you are an ancient Roman looking for a Nectarine tree then figure out what a phone or computer is and ask us for a Prunus Persica 'Humboldt'. Other normal people just ask for a Humboldt Nectarine, we will know what you mean.
As with most Nectarine trees the Humboldt is self-fertile so there is no need to get another nectarine tree planted close by to use as a pollination partner. In simple terms, you could plant this tree in a maximum security psychiatric confinement room and it would still produce nectarines, provided the staff watered it and not inject it with sedatives.
Under the right conditions the Humboldt is considered a good to heavy cropper. Those conditions being plenty of sun and not too much rain like that summer of 2012.
Month of Picking: Late-August
Type of Nectarine: Eating
Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Tree?
Usually no, especially if under 200cm tall. Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.
1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees

Take a look at our TOP SELLING FRUIT TREES, Wet ground issues then choose a PEAR TREE first, followed by APPLE TREES. For more information on pollination please look at choosing the CORRECT POLLINATION PARTNER
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.
Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Fruit Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
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.
