The tree is small but the fruit is not: it bears full-sized, yellow-fleshed, freestone nectarines in mid summer.

It suits cool temperate, warm temperate and Mediterranean gardens with a cool winter. The tree is frost hardy when dormant, and a potted tree can be moved to shelter if late frost threatens the blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e In the ground, plant in well-drained soil improved with compost, on a mound in clay.

In winter remove dead or crossing shoots and thin the dense centre a little to let in air. Thin the young fruit, as a dwarf tree sets more than it can size. Spray with copper at bud swell for peach leaf curl, and net against birds and fruit fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell Trixzie Nectazee as single trees in 300mm pots. It is deciduous, so a tree sent in winter arrives bare and one sent in the growing season arrives in leaf. Pot it up one size or plant it out soon after arrival, at the same depth as the pot, and water in well. Our growers do not hold every size all year, so a size can show as on backorder at times. An order for a backorder size is confirmed with you before anything ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
