Some of ours need replacing now.<br /><br />What variety is your nectarine - we bought one this year but it has no fruit - but this is maybe as we kept it in the greenhouse when it first arrived so there wasn't much chance of it being pollinated.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288480452785054795.post-53152803372256274192012-08-15T20:51:15.953+01:002012-08-15T20:51:15.953+01:00Your very own nectarines - how exciting!I'm su...Your very own nectarines - how exciting!I'm sure that you will really savour your crop.
