• Flesh colour: Golden / Yellow

Garden Beauty is a yellow-fleshed nectarine. The pink blossom is a particular feature.

It is a genetic dwarf variety, slow-growing and well-suited to growing in a pot - the height is likely to be less than 2m. This means you can make the best of the UK climate by growing the tree on a warm patio during the summer.

Although it is slow-growing, it is also quite precocious, so you may find you get some fruit in the first or second year after purchase.

Growing and Training

Garden Beauty is best grown in a pot on the patio, and in the UK should be protected from the elements from January to May, e.g. in a cold greenhouse or conservatory. The blossom will appear in early spring, and since pollinating insects may be scarce at this time of year you can assist the pollination by dabbing the flowers with a very soft brush. As the fruitlets develop, thin them to leave a clear gap between each one. This will ensure the remaining ones grow larger and develop a better flavour.

Keeping the tree under cover during spring is also a simple and very effective method for avoiding peach-leaf curl, the most widespread of diseases affecting peaches.

Garden Beauty characteristics

British-grown trees

Unlike many garden centres and online retailers, the vast majority of our fruit trees are grown in the UK. Find out more.

In addition, all our trees are certified under the Plant Healthy scheme, supervised by the Plant Health Alliance. Other stakeholders include Defra and the RHS. The scheme aims to improve UK biosecurity by setting standards for all growers and retailers involved in selling plants in the UK. Find out more

More about nectarine trees

Nectarines are essentially smooth-skinned peaches. They can be grown successfully in the southern parts of the UK, but for best results they should be planted in a shelted location in full sun.

Most nectarines are self-fertile, but cross-polinate readily with other nectarines and also peaches.

All nectarines are susceptible to peach-leaf curl, a fungal infection which causes the leaves to curl up in early spring. Although not harmful to the tree in the longer term, a severe infection will prevent the tree cropping. The problem is easily avoided by covering the tree with horticultural fleece in winter and early spring - since the infection is spread in rain drops.

As with peaches, be careful not to over-water nectarines.
