Author: H.J. Drake

Abstract:
Several years ago the author planted
six nectarine varieties widely recommended
for the home garden, and has
now had enough experience to compare
results.
The six tested were
'Surecrop', 'Hunter', 'Fuzzless Berta',
'River's Orange', 'Early Flame' and
'Flaming Gold'. Of these, only 'Surecrop'
has been outstanding in flavor
and successful from a cultural standpoint.
The trees are planted on a foothill
site, generally unfavorable for peaches
and nectarines, with dry shale soil
and severe winter winds, with the result
that only early ripening nectarines
develop good flavor.
With nectarines,
both curculio and brown rot are problems.
